Enhancing links

London's economy and quality of life depend to a significant extent on the capacity and range of its strategic transport networks. Improvements in capacity are needed; particularly for access by public transport to international stations and airports that service London to meet growing demand for longer distance business related travel.

Improvements should be made to routes:

• to Heathrow Airport, such as Airtrack
• in the Thames Gateway to Stratford and Ebbsfleet international stations
• to the Channel Tunnel and main Channel and North Sea ports
• through the Lee Valley to Stansted Airport, including increasing capacity to Stansted
• to Gatwick and Luton airports.
