Ardleigh Green Bridge: Demolition

Bryant Road opening Ardleigh Green Bridge

Bryant Avenue which has been closed due to the Ardleigh Green A127 Bridge works, will open the weekend of 8 December.

TfL are working to complete footway and street lighting works on the new bridge and installing safety barriers. They are also resurfacing the new A127 carriageway and will switch the contraflow next month and reopen Bryant Avenue.

The reopening of Bryant Avenue comes after a series of meetings with senior TfL staff. This will stop the rat runs through side roads within Harold Wood and cause less disruption to parents carrying out the school runs and to people living and working in the area.

Call 020 7222 5600 for all enquiries or email enquire@tfl.gov.uk

New Crossrail trains roll out

Commuters using Havering stations have started using brand new train carriages on the new Elizabeth Line between Shenfield and Liverpool Street stations. The new trains offer travellers more space and seating, and air-conditioned carriages. 

Improvements in train services form a key part of our vision for the borough, Havering - making a Greater London with better connections to central London, and Heathrow and west London to follow by 2019.

New TfL map to help people with conditions including claustrophobia and anxiety

People with claustrophobia or other anxiety conditions could find their journeys less stressful as Transport for London (TfL) today launched a new map that shows which stations and sections of the TfL network are underground. 

The new addition to TfL’s broad selection of downloadable Tube maps will help a range of customers navigate the network more comfortably by showing them routes they can take to avoid areas with large stretches of tunnels. 

The tunnels map has been created following suggestions from customers living with claustrophobia or anxiety conditions who find it difficult using the Tube, and has been welcomed by charities. It is one of the many ways that TfL is working to improve the travel experiences of customers using public transport in London.
