Transport for London (TfL) has launched a public consultation for a major extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) across the River Thames, connecting Gallions Reach to Thamesmead. The ambitious plan includes two new stations and aims to reduce journey times significantly, opening up potential housing and job creation opportunities, estimated at 30,000 homes and 10,000 jobs. With a projected economic impact of £15.6 billion, community support is strong, as previous consultations indicated high approval. Construction could begin in the late 2020s, pending necessary approvals.
TfL's plan to extend the Docklands Light Railway could significantly reduce journey times and stimulate economic growth, creating new homes and jobs.
Thamesmead desperately needs connectivity as it is the only London postcode without direct train access, representing a missed opportunity for residents.
