Some of it'll be over old routes, I suppose, but that which is proposed
around Ilford and Barking looks likely to cause some major disturbance
whether it goes on stilts or cut 'n cover.

The "transit" schemes were possibly going to be light rail but the
latest consultation documents show them as bus routes with fairly high
levels of segregation. Therefore no need for tunnels or stilts.

Ah, that makes much more sense, though it will increase journey times
considerably even with Ken's finest efforts of Red Lining the routes.
