Recent polling indicates overwhelming support for the Bakerloo line upgrade and extension among Londoners, with 89% of businesses and 76% of residents in favor. Proposed improvements include increased train frequency and modernized fleets, enhancing service quality. The extension aims to create jobs and homes along its route, notably benefitting Lewisham. Professor Frances Corner OBE highlights the educational and sustainability advantages, emphasizing the importance of better transport for students from lower income backgrounds. The initiative positions itself as a significant opportunity for economic growth in the area, with additional stations planned.
As the third-largest employer in Lewisham, we know first-hand the difference better transport links will make for our students, our staff and the many local businesses we work with.
Many of our students commute to our New Cross campus from across London. For those on lower incomes, faster, more affordable public transport is vital to accessing higher education and building a better future.
