Short changed Bakerloo Line Extension Stations

TfL are currently consulting on extending the Bakerloo line via one of two routes – Old Kent Road or via Camberwell. Please whatever you do respond to the public consultation tell TfL that both routes are required.

They propose two station on either route, Old Kent Road 1 & 2 stations on one route, and Camberwell and Peckham on the other route. That’s 2 stations over 5km on the Old Kent Road route or 6km on the Camberwell route.

South Londoners are being seriously short-changed with only two stations being proposed for each branch.

The Bakerloo line is 23km long with 25 stations. That means both proposed branches of an extended Bakerloo line should have 5 stations over the first branch and 6 over the latter proposed branch. Any less means South Londoners are being taken for ride.

Kensal Park and Kilburn Park are no more populous than Camberwell or Peckham.

Please tell TfL in the public consultation that they need to ensure we get a fair number of stations.
