The incredible £3.1bn project to transform London’s Bakerloo line | UK | News


London’s transport system is set to undergo a major transformation with the ambitious £3.1 billion Bakerloo Line Extension project, which started in January 2024.

This infrastructure upgrade will significantly expand the Underground’s Bakerloo line, stretching it from its current endpoint at Elephant & Castle through south London, with proposed new stations along Old Kent Road and Lewisham.

This extension will connect underserved areas and provide much-needed improvements in accessibility, benefitting commuters and boosting local development.

The Bakerloo line extension is part of a broader vision to modernise London’s transport network and address the increasing demand for public transportation.

The project will not only improve access to the city centre for many residents, but also ease congestion on other lines, creating smoother and quicker commutes for Londoners.

It will provide a vital transport link for many people living in South East London and is expected to support thousands of new jobs both during its construction and upon completion.

The proposed route will link neighborhoods currently without a Tube connection, helping to support economic growth in these areas. Local businesses, housing projects, and community infrastructure are all expected to benefit from the improved connectivity.
