Bus route extensions/New routes that should be implemented (1 Viewer)

In Barking alot of people are trying to get to Barkingside.

Currently they have 2 routes to do that :
Take the EL1 and then Change to either the 167, 150, 128
Or take the 169 the whole way (Takes a rediculous time)

Now the EL Network is called The East London Transit section of GAL they currently have the EL2 EL1 (EL3 to be active in Febuary)
I think they should make a new route EL4 Barking Station - Claybury Broadway (Via Barkingside, Gants Hill, Ilford.)

It also helps with adding capacity to the section of Ilford Lane which is a area with rediculous demand for busses (Because no one can drive to save they're life down here.)
You can just get a 128 from ilford to barkingside... the EL4 Would be pretty pointless in that sense...

In my opinion, either create a new route EL4 between Riverside and Romford Market/Station or extend the EL2 to Romford so it helps the route 5 during the busiest of times.

New Route R13 West Croydon. East Croydon. Addiscombe. Shirley Church Road. Addington Village. Coney Hall. PRUH. Farmborough. Green Street Green. Orpington Perry Hall Road. Every 15 mins mon-sat 20mins sun PVR13 5 E200MMC's 8 StreetLites

if this was a bus, I wouldn't run it via Farnborough and GSG, it would already be a long bus. I think an extension of the 353 woould do better

If it goes straight down the A21 it can provide quicker links to GSG And from the 2 Hospitals in Orpington, and what about the rest of the route then?
GSG is already very well connected for such a small village and if you revert the 353 frequency reduction back to every 13/15min then I think the 353, 130, 466, 358, R2, 314 & 246 would cover it just fine

See look at that, look how many changes out of those routes you’d be making. West Croydon - Addington Villiage would be a welcomed addition to the area and for the locals, from Addington it’s a quicker and more reliable link for many, as 353 will not be reverted. As for GSG, it’s only 2 realistic route providing links into the town With R5/8/10 if you’re lucky, 431 if you’re willing to pay, or R1 which takes roughly 25 minutes from GSG to Carlton Parade. Even 358 doesn’t and will not go there. R11 is the only one for that part of the route and, again, you still haven’t come up with a solution for the much needed link between the 2 hospitals...

Which two hospitals? Only one I remember is Orpington hospital which the R11 serves
