The news is official and the Bakerloo line extension is finally going ahead. My eyes are tired from staring at maps and reports but the commitment is finally there. We need to stay watchful to ensure they keep this promise.

Camberwell and Peckham are poorly served by public transport, and in particular by the underground system. Most residents have to travel into central London by bus or train, with long journey times. As the Mayor of London considers his 2020 Vision and plans for major infrastructure investment in the next decade, we call on him to commit to extending the Bakerloo line to Camberwell and Peckham in order to improve public transport for current and future residents, and to help bring jobs and growth to this part of London.

We hit 2,500 signatures today. It is exhausting to keep pushing when the silence from the Mayor's office feels so heavy, but knowing this many people are just as frustrated as I am keeps me moving forward.

The feedback from local commuters has been constant and exhausting to read because it confirms exactly what we already know about the daily grind. I am spending my evenings chasing down officials for answers even when I feel like I am shouting into a void.

Apart from the fact that it SOUNDS like a tube stop the fact is its the one major hospitals destination in London not served by a modern transport system . Denmark Hill lost the local Victoria line service and buses are crowded and overstretched. May sense prevail

The tube needs to serve areas already developed with slow accessibility to central London before areas capable of future wholesale regeneration are considered. Camberwell and its worldclass facilities (Arts School, Hospitals, Research facilities) deserve the tube

A fantastic opportunity to bring this corner of London the opportunities that other areas have seen as a given for the last 100 years. For too long Camberwell and Peckham have been left to their own devices. It's time they were put on the (tube) map!

Camberwell desperately needs the tube both for local people living here and those working elsewhere but also for the very many people who work at King's College hospital, The Maudsley, The Institute of Psychiatry as well as Camberwell School of Art.

I live in East Dulwich and the commute is become heavily congested, and when there are rail issues it can take over 2 hours to get into work due to all buses be over crowded. Nearby tube stations would certain alleviate this pressure. Even one in Camberwell.

with the re-development of elephant and castle and camberwell green becoming a place to go now for great restaurants, cafes and pubs; not to mention burgess park upgrade. there needs to be better transport links to bridge the 'gap' and bring people to the area.
