Transport for London focuses on unfunded DLR extension to Thamesmead, potentially considering further extensions if financially viable and designing plans accordingly.
Calls to extend London Overground or Elizabeth line rejected, with focus shift to DLR extension for better capacity, efficiency, and unlocking new developments in Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead.
Thamesmead, with over 30,000 residents, lacks proper public transport connections, relying on cars or buses; potential DLR extension aims to address this issue.
Extending DLR to Thamesmead is a decade-long unfunded plan, needing private and public sector funding, although future extensions towards Bexley are not ruled out.
