Transport for London (TfL) has set out plans to extend the tube line from Elephant and Castle to Lewisham via Old Kent Road and New Cross Gate. A further extension of the Bakerloo line beyond Lewisham has also been proposed, which could bring the tube to Ladywell, Catford and Lower Sydenham. TfL has carried out a number of consultations on the Bakerloo line extension and thousands of people have responded, overwhelmingly in support of the extension.
Southwark and Lewisham Councils are working with the Mayor and TfL to build a strong case for the Bakerloo line extension. If central government approves plans for the extension and the funding needed is secured, construction could begin as early as 2025.
