Transport for London (TfL) has proposed an extension of the
Bakerloo line from Elephant and Castle, to Lewisham, including
the potential for a further extension beyond Lewisham to Hayes
and Beckenham Junction.
The project is estimated to cost between £5.2 billion to £8.7
billion (at 2021 prices), with an additional £800 million to £1.9
billion required to extend the line further to
Hayes.[1]
The scheme would support over 53,000 new homes along the route,
transform access to public transport in southeast London,
significantly reducing journey times and increasing sustainable
travel options. However, questions remain over how this project
will be funded.
Tomorrow, the London Assembly Budget and
Performance Committee will hear from experts and TfL on
the potential funding options for the Bakerloo line extension,
and other new and future capital projects.
Guests are:
-
Professor Tony Travers, Professor in Practice
and Associate Dean, the London School of Economics
-
John Kavanagh, Programme Director,
Infrastructure, Business LDN
-
Chris Whitehouse, Technical Director,
WSP
-
Maurice Lange, Analyst, Centre for
Cities
