Bakerloo Extension

We're the local Labour campaign to extend the Bakerloo Line south-east to Lewisham, via Catford to Bromley. Sign our petition:

[Bakerloo Extension @BakerlooEXT]

The Conservatives are choking off funding for @TfL as part of a power grab - this could result in the Bakerloo Line fully closing.

Yet private rail operators have been given #COVID19 bailouts

Tell @GrantShappas to do his job and stop playing politics with peoples livelihoods

Really pleased to see ⁦@grantshapps⁩ issue safeguarding directions for Bakerloo Line Extension to Lewisham. Whilst the scheme is still some way off, this is good news for South East London. Now just have to sort out how to pay for it ... https://t.co/467gZBLLOC

[James-J Walsh @JamesJWalsh]

GREAT stuff - let’s hope we see further movement on @BakerlooEXT so #Catford gets kept on the Tube map.

[Bakerloo Extension @BakerlooEXT]

@craig_walmsley @Heidi_LDN Push the London Mayoral and Assembly candidates.... the news today is essentially a signal from Central Government it’s going to happen...

[Heidi Alexander MP @Heidi_Labour]

Hugely positive that Government has said they will proceed with safeguarding the Bakerloo Line Extension to Lewisham. Small issue of funding to sort out now ... https://t.co/qQGUoneVTb

[OnLondon @OnLondon]

NEW. Government approves safeguarding of Bakerloo Line extension route sites in #Southwark and #Lewisham: https://t.co/LkLcRyyAgy. Small but vital step towards important potential major new transport infrastructure in the capital.

Pick up one of Luke’s signed prints from Ninth Life’s Market today. Let’s get the @BakerlooEXT to Catford and on to #Bromley & Hayes!

[Brenda Dacres OBE @Brenda_Dacres]

The Transport Secretary @grantshapps has agreed to safeguard the route of the Bakerloo Line Extension, protecting land required to construct the line from premature development. This is a clear show of confidence in the scheme & a victory for our #BackTheBakerloo campaign 😃👍🏽

[Bakerloo Extension @BakerlooEXT]

They did you tool.

79% of #Bromley responders backed it.

🤦🏼‍♂️

[Cllr Brandreth Gammon🇬🇧🚳*️⃣ @CllrGammon]

Well clearly Brenda if you ask everyone in Catford if they want to be connected to Bromley they will say yes. Now ask everyone in Bromley if they want to be connected to Catford and I think you'll find quite a different answer!

[Brenda Dacres OBE @Brenda_Dacres]

Today @TfL published their response to the Bakerloo Line consultation -> https://t.co/VYKScXfGw7
It has enormous backing from Lewisham, Southwark & Bromley residents, and @BorisJohnson agrees that it is a fantastic project. We need the govt to work with @TfL to #BackTheBakerloo

[Southwark News @Southwark_News]

@TfL says it is working with @LBSouthwark and @LewishamCouncil to find further funding sources for the Bakerloo Line extension, expected to cost anywhere between £3bn to more than £4.7bn. @BakerlooEXT #backthebakerloo #OldKentRoad

@LiveableBromley @LeemingLachie @NewsShopper Yeah... great opportunism. The Tories are the ones not supporting TfL during COVID.

#Lewisham picks up its third gong from the #PlanningAwards 2020 for its work with #Southwark aiming to get the @BakerlooEXT to Lewisham, #Catford and beyond...

👏🏼 Well done to all... let’s hope @grantshapps ‘gets on board’ to #backthebakerloo!

[Bakerloo Extension @BakerlooEXT]

The Government must back @TfL’s @BakerlooEXT if they’re serious about Britain’s economic recovery

Mayor of #Lewisham @DamienEgan and Leader of #Southwark @PeterJohn6 argue the case in this excellent @OnLondon article

@wmtucker @PiccPlatforms Ah Mr Tucker, interesting thought, was this programme mooted pre-1898, as this was the first time a Bakerloo Extension was.

Obviously infrastructure programmes are needed nationwide, South East London suffers from significant swathes of transport poverty.

[Bakerloo Extension @BakerlooEXT]

Prime Minister @10DowningStreet to announce £250Bn in gov’t projects next week, dubbed “Project Speed”.

We know that a Bakerloo Extension would
•help with the #climatecrisis
•add millions to the Economy
•provide thousands of jobs

⚠️DONT LET THE GOVERNMENT BURY THIS DEVELOPMENT 🚇

if they’re serious about building back stronger, and kick starting our economy post #coronavirus, this infrastructure project with it’s GIANT returns could be part of the solution.
