Future proposals

Proposals have been put forward by Transport for London and the London Borough of Bromley for the Bromley North Line to be extended and connected to either the Docklands Light Railway via a link south of, to the Tramlink system from, or to an extension of the Bakerloo line from Elephant & Castle. These schemes have not been taken beyond the proposal stage and recommendations are expected to be published around 2018.
Additionally, it has been suggested that the Bromley North Line could be connected to London Overground via an extended service from, although the problems of line capacity make this seem an unlikely solution.
