Elizabeth line: What rail services could London see next?

Another major rail build looks unlikely, though, due to changes in the way these projects are paid for, says BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards."Crossrail cost £18.8bn, 70% of which was paid for by London. The overruns are also being paid for by the capital.

"The other issue is fares. Working from home is undoubtedly having an impact on transport operators' revenues and how much they can invest."The next new London Overground station to open is likely to be Barking Riverside, on the banks of the River Thames in east London, which will be the new terminus of the Gospel Oak to Barking line.

Approved in 2017, the project is being delivered a year later than planned due to funding issues caused by the pandemic.Image source,It will serve a newly built housing development.Proposals by TfL show a new line with services running from Hounslow and Kew Bridge up to Hendon and West Hampstead Thameslink, including the construction of four new stations on the route.

South East London and North Kent.

It’s completely bonkers that the tube goes to Essex, Berkshire, Hertfordshire & even Buckinghamshire to the north, west and east but nothing to the southwest past Wimbledon, Richmond, Brixton and absolutely nothing in the south east. What’s up with that?

Its not going to be 'Fully' up and running forat least another year. Meanwhile TfL are already, after one day, talking of removing existing bus routes along it's route!!

South East, Zone 3 and 4 needs its own crossrail North to South.

It's so easy to zip around London cheaply. Try travelling around the North West on a budget. That's if your train or bus actually turns up on time.

The south east… always
