Bakerloo Line

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their latest assessment of the proposal to extend the Bakerloo line south from Elephant and Castle.

Answer

The Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) are developing plans to extend the Bakerloo line south from Elephant and Castle.

TfL published a consultation on the principle of extending the line in autumn 2014. The results have been published on TfL’s website.

During the consultation a number of alternative routes were also suggested, and TfL is reviewing these. This review will include an assessment of the costs and benefits of a number of different routes and a comparison against the original route options. TfL are likely to publish a further consultation on these route options later this year.
