Bakerloo Line extension
Request ID: FOI-2037-1920
Date published: 24 October 2019
You asked
I have noted on the tfl website that a more detailed consultation on the Bakerloo line extension was planned for 2019. As it is now early October and no announcement of the dates at which this would take place there is now insufficient time for this to be carried out in 2019. Therefore my question is;
What is the new scheme development timetable, including:
- next detailed public consultation
- approval of the outline business case
- target month and year to deposit the Development Consent Order (or equivalent)
- target start of works year and month
- target opening year and month

Thank you for your request received on 6 October 2019 asking for information about the Bakerloo Line extension.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you requested. You asked:
What is the new scheme development timetable, including:
- next detailed public consultation?
We launched a new public consultation on 14th October. Further details and supporting information including plans,factsheets and supporting reports is available at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tube/bakerloo-extension/
- approval of the outline business case?
The business case for the scheme would be required as part of the Transport and Works Act Order application. The Order application would seek consent for the powers to construct and operate the proposed extension.
- target month and year to deposit the Development Consent Order (or equivalent)?
We are planning to apply for a Transport and Works Act Order rather than a Development Consent Order. We have previously used the Transport & Works Act process to to gain powers for the Northern line extension, Barking Riverside extension and Bank Station Upgrade. We are currently aiming to apply for the Order in 2023.
- target start of works year and month?
The target date for the start of works is around 2024/25 subject to the necessary funding and Order application being successful.
- target opening year and month?
We anticipate that the extension proposal could be open in the early 2030s, subject to the necessary funding and Order application being successful.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
