DLR: Big push for Dagenham branch to be constructed ahead of 2012

On the other hand, a Bakerloo extension would probably lead to increased overcrowding on the Northern line north of the Elephant, as people make new journeys or switch from buses and trains to the Tube for journeys to the City. It all depends on where most of the passengers would go. I think extending the Bakerloo to Herne Hill and constructing a flying terminus there would be an excellent idea, if and only if it could be shown that most of the paseengers at Herne Hill are headed somewhere served by the Bakerloo Line. As for the DLR Dagenham branch, it makes sense to build it because it provides direct one-change access to and from Docklands from Essex. People living in Beckton can now commute to Shoeburyness, and people living in Dagenham have more access to Canary Wharf. Everybody wins, especially the District Line. |
