New tube stop at Catford

Post by sean »

Just seen on the news that Mayor Boris wants to have a tube station at Catford. Good idea or not?

I'm filming with Boris in a few weeks - I'll pass on your comments.

A Bakerloo or Victoria extension?

Would be very good if it stopped at Forest Hill (or interchanged somewhere along the ELL) on the way to Catford.

It's via Lewisham - Catford.

Well, it would make sense if they could extend the DLR to Catford. Can't really see the point otherwise as the Catford-Lewisham link is already very well serviced (unless as above the plan is to extend the Bakerloo along the Old Kent Road to Lewisham - would be handy if Lewisham was more directly connected to FH and Syd tho).
