Transport for London (TfL) has published its draft Business Plan setting out investment and renewal priorities for the next four years. Sustained investment in transport infrastructure will contribute to a more prosperous London thanks to the wide economic benefits, unlocking thousands of new homes and supporting job creation.
Feeding in to the Mayor’s wider objectives will be:
DLR extension to Thamesmead via Beckton Riverside;
transforming Oxford Street;
developing plans for the Bakerloo Line extension;
bring Great Northern services into London Overground;
advancing the West London Orbital Overground via Old Oak Common;
continuing step-free access projects.
TfL’s investment programme includes upgrades across track, signalling and rolling stock, including:
new signalling on District and Metropolitan lines;
new metro fleets for the Bakerloo Line, Piccadilly Line and Docklands Light Railway;
additional Elizabeth line trains;
refurbishment of the Central line fleet;
replacement of London Trams Croydon fleet.
Andy Lord, London’s Transport Commissioner, said. ‘Our new Business Plan is an ambitious programme for the future of London’s transport network. We have achieved significant progress on the commitments made previously, and this plan lays out our future vision’.
