 Route 128
Route 25, which supplemented the 129 between Ilford and Becontree Heath, was being cut back to Ilford, and the overlap of the 128 and 129 between these points was designed to make up for this.
However, the routes were later transferred to Romford garage — very convenient for the 128, but less so for the 129 where buses had to run empty to and from the garage for driver changes.
Route 150 was extended to Becontree Heath to maintain capacity on this section, and the previous frequency of every 15 minutes on 128 and 129 and 10 minutes on 150 were replaced by a better co-ordinated 12 minute service on each of 128 and 150.

Routing from these areas to the outside world is based on a default route.
Routing to the outside world could take a sub-optimal path in reaching the destination by going out of the area via an exit point which is farther to the destination than other exit points.
If the external routes are both type 2 routes and the external costs to the destination network are equal, then the path with the lowest cost to the ASBR is selected as the best path.

 Inside-Out: Regional Networks and Industrial Adaptation in Silicon Valley and Route 128   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This article compares two of America's leading technology regions—California's Silicon Valley and Massachusetts' Route 128, to suggest the limits of the notion of external economies and to propose an alternative network approach to analyzing regional economies.
By rejecting the sharp distinction between what occurs inside and outside the firm, the network approach illuminates the complex and historically evolved relations between firms and the social structures and institutions of a particular locality.
Through a set of comparisons of companies in Silicon Valley and Route 128, the article explains the divergent performance of these two apparently comparable regional clusters, and in so doing provides insights into the local sources of competitive advantage.
