Mayor of London presses on with Bakerloo Line's Lewisham extension design work

Transport for London has formally hired two companies to start on the design of its five-mile southern extension of the Bakerloo Line.

Construction consultant AECOM and architect Weston Williamson & Partners (WWP) are to come up with a feasibility study within eight months for the line - from the Bakerloo’s present limit at Elephant & Castle to Lewisham, with new intermediate stations at Burgess Park, Old Kent Road, and New Cross Gate.
