The city has finally committed to a transparent consultation process that includes the Old Kent Road instead of ignoring us. I am drained from this fight but the outcome is exactly what we demanded. Keep watching the upcoming planning sessions to ensure they actually follow through.

This petition supports an extension to the Bakerloo Line that would benefit the South East London area, and simply asks that the all effort is taken to have an open discussion on the best route if an extension to the service is ever considered, rather than advocating one solution exclusively.

Seeing this grow is exhausting but I am grateful that so many people see the value in a fair plan for our transport. It feels like the right people are finally beginning to take notice of our requests for a real consultation.

TFL and the Mayor need to agree to bring the tube to South East London. As brownfield development in this area increases the urban population, investment in transport must match the population rise to prevent a future rush hour commuter nightmare.
Old Kent Road and North Peckham have long been the poor relations around here in public-transport terms. Even with the Overground crossing Old Kent Road at Ilderton Road, a station was not provided in a logical spot for one. As Peckham and Camberwell have the Overground, time that Old Kent got the Bakerloo: fair is fair.
The Old kent road is the ONLY major A road in London without a tube. With the redevelopment of elephant and castle it is essential that this tube line is built, thousands of new homes are being built and yet with no new travel infrastructure - Boris build a new tube in the old kent road #borisbuildatubefortheplebs
The bakerloo line extension at old Kent road is much needed to help with the long term regeneration of Tower Bridge road and Old Kent road.
An extension of the Bakerloo line down Old Kent Rd is crucial - current bus routes are at capacity as they are almost always full or worse, overcrowded. For too long the transport needs of residents in this area have been ignored, the tube is desperately needed.

The Bakerloo line needs to be extended beyond Elephant and castle to benefit South East London which has a chronic need for more rail and tube services. South East London always seems to be overlooked when it comes to infrastructure projects. The line should pass through Burgess Park/ Old Kent Road as the area needs improved links the most.
