Between Walthamstow Central And Canning Town Stations On A 69 Bus

I have a feeling, that the 69 bus route, which currently runs between Walthamstow Central and Canning Town stations, could be usefully extended to become.

• A new route through the Silvertown tunnel.
• A formal connection between the Eastern ends of the Victoria and Jubilee Lines
• Part of Superloop

I took these pictures from the front of the top deck.

Note.

1. I was sitting at the front of the bus on the right side of the top deck.
2. Walthamstow Central station is served by the Victoria Line and the London Overground.
3. The 69 bus runs every few minutes.
4. Walthamstow Central station has a well-connected modern bus station.
5. Leyton Midland Road station is on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line.
6.  The Leyton Engineer appears to be a beautifully restored pub.
7. The six-lane A12 East Cross Route is crossed on a bridge just before Leyton station.
8. Leyton station is on the Central Line.
9. Maryland station is on the Elizabeth Line.
10. The Great Eastern Main Line and the Elizabeth Line are crossed on a bridge at Maryland station.
11. The prominent church is St. John’s, Stratford.
12. Plaistow station is on the Metropolitan Line.
13. Canning Town station is on the Jubilee Line and is a hub for the Docklands Light Railway.
14. Canning Town station is suffering a degree of refurbishment at the moment and is a bit of a nightmare on foot at the moment.

The 69 bus route connects eight railway stations and at least eight railway lines.

The roads are generally wide and there are more trees than in other parts of London.
