Ilford To Newbury Park: Modern Alternatives
The recent construction of residential blocks, as well as the long-standing and ongoing use of the alignment for allotment gardens, means that there can be no re-instatement of the rail-link between Ilford and Newbury Park. The Central line serves both Stratford and Liverpool Street, just as the old Fairlop Loop line services did, and to travel by rail between Newbury Park and Ilford requires a relatively simple change of trains at Stratford. However, more direct routes involve local bus routes 296 and 396, serving both stations directly, and a third route, the 169, serving Ley Street and Horns Road a few hundred yards to the west of Newbury Park. The 296 and 396 head west along the Eastern Avenue as far as Gants Hill, before turning south, whilst the 169 is actually a less circuitous route.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or alternatives:
“Though collecting quotations could be considered as merely an ironic mimetism—victimless collecting, as it were ... in a world that is well on its way to becoming one vast quarry, the collector becomes someone engaged in a pious work of salvage. The course of modern history having already sapped the traditions and shattered the living wholes in which precious objects once found their place, the collector may now in good conscience go about excavating the choicer, more emblematic fragments.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
