The Conservatives are choking off funding for @TfL as part of a power grab - this could result in the Bakerloo Line fully closing. Yet private rail operators have been given #COVID19 bailouts Tell @GrantShappas to do his job and stop playing politics with peoples livelihoods

Really pleased to see ⁦@grantshapps⁩ issue safeguarding directions for Bakerloo Line Extension to Lewisham. Whilst the scheme is still some way off, this is good news for South East London. Now just have to sort out how to pay for it ... londonnewsonline.co.uk/baker…

Push the London Mayoral and Assembly candidates.... the news today is essentially a signal from Central Government it’s going to happen...

Hugely positive that Government has said they will proceed with safeguarding the Bakerloo Line Extension to Lewisham. Small issue of funding to sort out now ... lewisham.gov.uk/articles/new…

The Transport Secretary @grantshapps has agreed to safeguard the route of the Bakerloo Line Extension, protecting land required to construct the line from premature development. This is a clear show of confidence in the scheme & a victory for our #BackTheBakerloo campaign 😃👍🏽

They did you tool. 79% of #Bromley responders backed it. 🤦🏼‍♂️
Well clearly Brenda if you ask everyone in Catford if they want to be connected to Bromley they will say yes. Now ask everyone in Bromley if they want to be connected to Catford and I think you'll find quite a different answer!

Today @TfL published their response to the Bakerloo Line consultation -> tinyurl.com/y4bo7y8y It has enormous backing from Lewisham, Southwark & Bromley residents, and @BorisJohnson agrees that it is a fantastic project. We need the govt to work with @TfL to #BackTheBakerloo

Replying to @TfL
@TfL says it is working with @LBSouthwark and @LewishamCouncil to find further funding sources for the Bakerloo Line extension, expected to cost anywhere between £3bn to more than £4.7bn. @BakerlooEXT #backthebakerloo #OldKentRoad southwarknews.co.uk/news/bak…

Yeah... great opportunism. The Tories are the ones not supporting TfL during COVID.

Ah Mr Tucker, interesting thought, was this programme mooted pre-1898, as this was the first time a Bakerloo Extension was. Obviously infrastructure programmes are needed nationwide, South East London suffers from significant swathes of transport poverty.
Prime Minister @10DowningStreet to announce £250Bn in gov’t projects next week, dubbed “Project Speed”. We know that a Bakerloo Extension would •help with the #climatecrisis •add millions to the Economy •provide thousands of jobs #lewisham #lambeth #southwark #beckenham

⚠️DONT LET THE GOVERNMENT BURY THIS DEVELOPMENT 🚇 if they’re serious about building back stronger, and kick starting our economy post #coronavirus, this infrastructure project with it’s GIANT returns could be part of the solution. #lewisham #bakerloo @NewsShopper
The Bakerloo Line Extension will bring vital jobs, homes, opportunities & sustainable travel to Lewisham through to Hayes. This project is going to need Central Gov financing as well as including other options to get it built. It will give much need economic boost to our SE area
