Well, especially since the buses were intended to be a tram which would give a faster and more useful service to the wider area from Ilford down to the Riverside, but it was descoped and the EL-series buses take ages to actually get to the station.
Indeed. The proposed (if I recall correctly) Ilford-Bexleyheath [*] DLR line would have been absolutely transformational. Unfortunately, it would've been very expensive to build and TfL doesn't have that kind of money floating around
[*] Personally I'd have been slightly more ambitious and started it from Newbury Park, using old passenger route to Ilford.
