Until 1972, bus routes on the [[A124 road]] that crosses the narrow bridge were more numerous.  Before [[London Buses route 248|248]]  was extended from its orbital run around [[Upminster Park Estate]] to connect into Romford town centre, the [[London Transport (brand)|London Transport buses]] reaching [[Upminster station]] were the [[London Buses route 193|193]] and the [[London Buses route 86|86]].  The latter running all the way from Bow and Limehouse the 15 or so miles to Upminster most of the time hugging the course of the [[A124 road]].
