Bakerloo tube extension to Denmark Hill

1952 the planned extension of the Baklerloo line from Elephant & Castle via the Walworth Road, Camberwell Green to Denmark Hill was cancelled. They extended the line about 1km ,contructed three ventilation tunnels and then stopped.

Recently London Mayor Boris Johnson has cancelled the Cross River Tram that would have run parallel to much of this Bakerloo Line extension but targetted towards Peckham.

The Bakerloo Line is the only tube line in London not running at capacity. Ideal for extending. Transport for London working with AMEC/Royal Bank of Scotland has just extended the Docklands Light Railway by 2.5km to Woolwich Arsenal contructing two stations and going under the River Thames for £180m.

The distance from the end of the Bakerloo Line to Denmark Hill is 2.5km.

The benefits to Camberwell, the Aylesbury estate and surrounding areas would amount to considerably more than £200m.

How can we make this happen?
