Bakerloo line extension.

Anyone know when the Bakerloo line extension project will be taking place? I was told around 2024-2025 but I am not sure due to TFL's current finance issue.

Technical work to prepare for the Bakerloo line extension continues rapidly, laying the way for Southwark, Lewisham and TfL to seek government approval for the scheme via the Transport and Works Act in 2025 as planned.

The Bakerloo Line Extension "is currently working towards a single preferred option by late 2025. Work is currently ongoing to update the scheme business case and complete the feasibility design, including packages of work looking at station design and funding options that are funded by the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Southwark. The current EFC is between £5-8bn (2023 prices) and the scheme could feasibly begin construction from 2030 subject to funding."
