As the Barking Riverside extension of the London Overground opens, TfL warns it might be the last major project it can deliver until long-term funding is secured.
Barking Riverside station was built to support a new 10,000-home development in the area and provide a connection to Barking station in seven minutes.The new Barking Riverside station will have step-free access from street to train
The opening of the Barking Riverside extension follows shortly on from the grand opening of the Elizabeth Line.TfL reported that the number of passengers using the Tube was at 50% on pre-pandemic levels, while those using buses was at 80% on Monday morning.Elizabeth line central section hits 1m journeys"I have a fear that whilst this is an amazing project, this is kind of the end of the line for some of the major TfL projects," she told BBC Politics London.
"When you actually look at what else is coming up, there is nothing. What about the Bakerloo Line extension? What about the extension of the tram to Sutton? All of these projects have been paused or cancelled. "It's really important to keep London moving, so we don't have this huge vacuum in years to come", she added.TfL says it has reduced its annual running costs by more than £1bn over the past five yearsSeb Dance, Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: "TfL is uniquely dependent on fare revenue compared to transport authorities around the world."
"Without the support from government to replace the revenue we lost during the pandemic, we cannot continue to provide the London-style transport system Londoners need and deserve - much less the rest of the country."The Department for Transport said TfL was yet to show evidence it had found £400m of savings - a condition of the last bailout. TfL denied this claim.
