There will be a need for a service across the Lower Lea
Crossing once the new Leamouth footbridge is constructed.

Why does builiding a new footbridge create a new bus demand?

Because the footbridge links the Leamouth peninsula with the Lower Lea
Crossing (and ultimately with Canning Town station). It will be the
nearest main road to the peninsula which should see some regeneration
once the basic pedestrian links are in place. Currently the nearest bus
stops are the 277 at the far end of Saffron Avenue near East India or
the 115 from next to the Travelodge on East India Dock Road.
