Wapping and Rotherhithe stations to be retained

August 17, 2004 - Staff

Mayor of London Ken Livingstone today announced that Wapping and Rotherhithe tube stations will be retained in plans for the East London Line extension.

Ken Livingstone said: “I am pleased to say that following discussions with the East London Line Extension project team, it is now planned to keep both Rotherhithe and Wapping stations open after the project is completed in 2010. The Government’s recent announcement that Transport for London can take forward the project is a major boost for east and south London and it is now even better news for those living near these two stations.”

The Mayor confirmed last month that he has reached agreement with the Government to enable Transport for London to take forward the construction of the East London Line extension, as well as transit schemes in east London and Greenwich and extensions to the DLR, which will be a huge boost to London’s 2012 Olympic bid.
