transport nerding - East London Line extension phase 2 [Apr. 20th, 2008|03:15 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
East London Line extension phase 2 from London Cxns (with photos). This will be connecting the East London Line at New Cross to the South London Line (Victoria<->London Bridge via Denmark Hill) near the Old Kent Road.

Thameslink 2000, as well as cutting capacity on the Sutton loop, also means that the South London Line will stop. There is considerably more money bringing in commuters from outside London than there ever is in inner South London railways. People are saying that the East London Line extension phase 2 will happen to compensate for the loss of the Victoria to London Bridge service. The gentrification of Bermondsey probably means that their local unhappiness has more weight than it would have had a few years ago.

This is the schedule of works, dated 2001. Let's hope it gets the money :)

Oh, I was just writing about the Sutton loop :) I expect we got inspired by the same thing (utl).
