Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension

Proposed

The Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension is the big opportunity for London. The project would unlock tens of thousands of homes, deliver a £1.5bn boost to GVA, and support sustainable travel.

The Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension is the next big opportunity for London.

The Bakerloo is a vital part of economic infrastructure. But with trains over 50 years old, it urgently needs investment.

The upgrade would involve new trains and signalling. The extension would deliver 14 new stations.

The project would support London’s growth and decarbonisation, with tens of thousands of new homes, a £1.5bn boost to GVA, and 20,000 fewer car journeys.

This project is featured as a project in RePower London: Infrastructure for Growth. The report, exhibition, and accompanying online project directory examine the critical infrastructure needed to support London's growth and resilience. We explore the role of innovation, collaboration, and sustainable design in shaping the city's future, with a focus on ensuring that London remains fit-for-purpose, equitable, and competitive in the long term.
