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:
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a man’s tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
