Transport for London (TfL) intends to open a new section of the Bakerloo line by decade's end, connecting Elephant & Castle to Lewisham at a projected cost of up to £8 billion. This extension will introduce new stations at Burgess Park, Old Kent Road, New Cross Gate, and Lewisham, alongside additional platforms at Elephant & Castle. Plans to extend further south to Hayes in Bromley are also in discussion, which could see the replacement of Southeastern services. Mayor Sadiq Khan affirmed the potential for 20,400 new homes near the extension. Furthermore, TfL is seeking government funding to replace its aging Bakerloo train fleet.
