Four Labour council leaders in London are urging the government to fund the upgrade and extension of the Bakerloo line, which could enable more frequent services and better connectivity for southeast London. This project, described as 'shovel-ready', could generate 1.5 billion in economic growth and thousands of jobs. Local leaders emphasize the critical importance of this funding for transforming transport and enhancing growth opportunities in an area that has historically faced economic disadvantages. Initial funding is sought as part of the government's upcoming Spending Review and Infrastructure Strategy.
"For too long south-east London has been excluded from the world-class London Underground network and the benefits of being a well-connected inner London borough."
"The Bakerloo extension was a 'shovel-ready project' which would create thousands of jobs and boost economic growth by 1.5 billion."
