Major changes to two east London bus routes proposed
Briefly

Transport for London (TfL) proposes to reroute the 287 and school service 687 through Maplestead Road and Goresbrook Road in Becontree, maintaining their connections to Barking station while discontinuing stops along the A13. This change is aimed at better serving Becontree Estate residents, particularly during upcoming construction on Lodge Avenue. While the rerouting will involve street and pavement modifications by Barking and Dagenham Council, including a new bus gate and one-way side roads, TfL assures enhanced conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and bus users, minimizing negative impacts and facilitating community access to local destinations.
