The town is served by Romford railway station on the Great Eastern Main Line in London fare zone 6. Trains calling at the station are operated by Greater Anglia and are primarily of the high-frequency stopping Liverpool Street-Shenfield service. There are also a limited number of outer-suburban express services to Southend-on-Sea and Clacton, mostly during off-peak times. A branch line shuttle on the Romford to Upminster Line connects Romford to Emerson Park and Upminster. Romford is a hub of the London Buses network with services to Canning Town, Stratford, Leytonstone and Dagenham as well as feeder services from the large housing developments at Collier Row and Harold Hill. There are night bus services to Stratford, Harold Hill and Paddington. Romford town centre has a very high Public Transport Accessibility Level score of 6. The trunk A12 road passes to the north of Romford while the A118 road from Stratford connects with it at Gallows Corner at the start of the A127 road to Southend. It is planned that the Liverpool Street-Shenfield service will become part of Crossrail and there is a proposal that Romford will be served by a future extension of the East London Transit.
