The Elizabeth line is up and running - but which parts of London are in need of better transport links?
Another major rail build looks unlikely, though, due to changes in the way these projects are paid for, says BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards."Crossrail cost £18.8bn, 70% of which was paid for by London. The overruns are also being paid for by the capital.
"The other issue is fares. Working from home is undoubtedly having an impact on transport operators' revenues and how much they can invest."The next new London Overground station to open is likely to be Barking Riverside, on the banks of the River Thames in east London, which will be the new terminus of the Gospel Oak to Barking line.
Approved in 2017, the project is being delivered a year later than planned due to funding issues caused by the pandemic.Image source,It will serve a newly built housing development.Proposals by TfL show a new line with services running from Hounslow and Kew Bridge up to Hendon and West Hampstead Thameslink, including the construction of four new stations on the route.
