Summary

Transport for London (TfL) is seeking public input on the Bakerloo line extension, planned to connect Elephant and Castle to Lewisham, with new stops along the Old Kent Road. The project, expected to start construction in the early 2030s and complete by 2040, aims to improve public transport access and stimulate housing and job growth. Despite setbacks, including lack of government funding, TfL is investing in the project, with plans for significant investment by 2028 and 2029. The public consultation is the next key step in bringing this extension to life. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
