The planned upgrade for Pontoon Dock station will include six new escalators and a mezzanine level to greatly improve passenger accessibility, reflecting an expected 415% increase in demand.
Transport for London has highlighted that the current reliance on lifts and stairs leads to overcrowding and longer wait times, indicating the necessity of the escalators.
The enhancement project is projected to yield significant financial benefits, with additional fare revenue estimated at 2.6 million annually by 2041, alongside new retail income.
This 43.9 million project has been deemed excellent value for money, particularly in light of the unprecedented increase in housing and commuter traffic expected in the vicinity.
