The best option for achieving those goals is to extend the line to Lewisham via the Old Kent Road and New Cross Gate.

We are also considering a second extension phase beyond Lewisham to Hayes and Beckenham Junction. This would involve converting the National Rail line via Catford to Hayes to a London Underground operation.

What a Bakerloo line extension would bring
The route would have a frequent Tube service, improving customer journey times and offering better connections within southeast London, and into central London.

The plan is to:

Extend the Bakerloo line from Elephant and Castle to Lewisham
Build a new Bakerloo line ticket hall at Elephant and Castle
Take the route from Elephant and Castle along Old Kent Road where two new stations are proposed
Create a new station at New Cross Gate to provide better connectivity to National Rail, Overground, and buses
Improve the interchange station at Lewisham linking National Rail, DLR, and buses.
