Question

DLR extensions

My attention has been drawn to some very interesting maps on the DLR section of the TfL website which show potential extensions southwards from Lewisham to Catford and Forest Hill and even westwards to Victoria and north to St Pancras. What funds have been allocated to developing these proposals so far and how much funding do you intend to allocate in total? When do you envisage these proposals being included in the TfL Business Plan?

Answer

Date: Sunday 22 May 2011

The proposals for potential DLR extensions are included in the November 2010 Sub Regional Transport Plans and support the policies in my Transport Strategy. In accordance with the MTS, Transport for London is constantly planning for future development of the transport network to accommodate the Capital's continuing growth and needs.

These extensions are aspirations, albeit with strong business cases, but there is currently no funding available.
