Hi am a campaigner of the "Tube For All". We launched our campaign in January 2006. It was backed by the South London Press- we met in the place for a rally on Camberwell Green. Don't give up the fight. We presented over 1,000 letters and a petition to the Southwark Council, to the then Mayor Of London Ken Livingstone, Transport for London to include Camberwell as a priority area for the bakerloo extension & train station - at the time the then Council Adminstration was more concerned with the Camberwell Tram and not the tube which Boris shelved in November 2008. After a political fight all three leaders of the then three political parties supported our Motion for Camberwell to became the priority area for a Underground Tube Station. It is Southwark Council tranport Policy. That is why I cannot understand why there is a sudden interest in the Old Road. This was never an option ?

Tube line 'may extend south within 20 years' Feb 10 2006
By Paul Rhys
DREAMS of a new Tube station could be realised within 20 years.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone has written to campaigners saying proposals to extend the Bakerloo Line to Camberwell are being considered.
Plans to continue tunnelling from Elephant & Castle - the current terminus - down to Camberwell Green were originally drawn up in the 1920s before the Second World War and the and the Depression put paid to the project.
Campaigners resurrected the scheme last month, but Transport for London (TfL) said transport contracts were tied up until at least 2012.
That put paid to hopes of a Tube station being built before the Olympics comes to London, and last week Southwark council leader Nick Stanton said it could be 50 years before the dream was realised.
But Mr Livingstone's statement will give heart to those desperate for a new transport link in South-east London.
In an email seen by the South London Press, Mr Livingstone said TfL and London Underg

Camberwell Green is in fact, well overdue for an underground station. The population, the lock jam traffic situation caused by buses, cars and lorries is seriously affecting the area. Businesses in the area are suffering. A tube station will help in regeneration of the area long overdue. At the moment, the people of Camberwell feel marginalised as there is hardly any capital investment in the area - yet there are a number of very strategic and important institutions in the area that can benefit from a modern public transport infrastructure.

the buses to Camberwell are always over crowded and due to traffic you can't rely on them to get you anywhere in a quantifiable time period. A tube is desperately needed

This part of South London is woefully under-served by public transport. Camberwell would benefit enormously from the Bakerloo extension. Massively in favour!

Camberwell would hugely benefit from a tube line into the city, the buses and roads can't take the increase in public transport demand in this area.

The presence of the two hospitals plus the two university campuses in the Camberwell area makes this a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned. The Walworth Road is choked with traffic a lot of the time and buses are much slower than they used to be. Ideally I'd like to see the Bakerloo come to Camberwell AND the Old Kent Road but if it has to be just one then my vote is overwhelmingly for Camberwell.
