• complete the upgrade of all the Tube lines

• deliver the Overground extension to Barking Riverside on the Gospel Oak to Barking line

• develop plans for additional tram, tube and rail services in areas currently under-served by public transport including:

  • extending the Bakerloo line south to Southwark and then into Lewisham and Bromley
