better road-based public transport network and public transport access
arrangements leading to much improved Public Transport Accessibility

the north; west and southwest of Stratford station,
combination of all improvements across the area resulting in improved
public transport travel times to Stratford from across Newham,
new Royal Docks DLR services to Stratford, new Stratford High Street and
Abbey Lane DLR stations will improve public transport for extreme south

Crossrail services running through the north of the borough are expected
to reduce dependence on Stratford for certain Newham travellers.
