The document discusses transport challenges and priorities for east and south east London. It notes that London's population is growing rapidly and will require major investments in transport infrastructure to support the growth. This includes projects like Crossrail, upgrades to the DLR and Overground networks, and new river crossings like the planned Silvertown Tunnel to alleviate congestion and improve connectivity. Future transport priorities could involve extending the Bakerloo line, further DLR extensions, and new river crossings like Gallions Reach and Belvedere to connect communities across the Thames. Major funding and approvals will be required to transform London's transport network and accommodate the rising population.

All income is spent on running and improving transport services. Because of
this, there is no 'retained profit'.

6. We are faced with the huge challenge of a rapidly rising
population

7. Ensuring population growth is productive growth
London is already one of the most productive world cities and therefore vital
to the UK economy – its growth will be accommodated by further increasing
the density of new development.

Rate of housing delivery within OAs
along the Thames in East London has
been slow – to speed this up requires
substantial upfront investment in
infrastructure and land remediation

10. Finding new sources of funding
• The way transport infrastructure is funded is changing – transport
investment need not all come from the Exchequer
• Crossrail is two-thirds funded from London sources and the Northern Line
Extension received only a loan guarantee from the Treasury. Both will
deliver a major boost to the economy and generate new tax revenue for
the Exchequer
• Major projects will need to maximise non-government sources of funding
in future – these packages are best assembled at city level and need to
deliver connectivity as well as affordable homes
10
This will help London deliver a projected fiscal surplus of around
£100bn by 2025, up from £36bn today

16. Long-term DLR upgrade aspirations
New capacity in central
London
• Very long-term ambition to
extend west from Bank
• Increases rail capacity in
central London at fraction of
cost of new line
• Complementary to Crossrail 2
Lewisham ‘orbital gateway’
• Potential for major station upgrade
• High-frequency DLR and Bakerloo
line services
• Metro-style Southeastern services
• Integrated with local buses
Beckton Depot
• More depot space is
needed if DLR is to
support growth
• This is potential for a
combined DLR,
highway and bus depot
• This could make
efficient use of space
under or above the
proposed Gallions
Crossing
Connecting the eastern
Royals
• Potential extensions from
Gallions Reach towards
Barking town centre &
Thamesmead could
support thousands of
new homes
• They would link much of
NE & SE London to
30,000+ jobs planned in
the Royal Docks
• Could be delivered in
stages just like DLR’s
Woolwich to Stratford
link
Stratford ‘orbital gateway’
• New flagship transport hub &
emerging city centre
• Major uplifts in DLR frequencies
to Stratford are possible
• This would complement
improvements to Crossrail,
Overground and new services to
the Upper Lea Valley (STAR)
New DLR trains
• Replacing and expanding
the DLR fleet is essential
to Docklands growth
• Without doing this, we
cannot increase capacity
on DLR or extend it
• Trains and depot space are
the two most significant
constraints to enhancing
DLR capacity

17. There were significant improvements in CP4

18. CP5 investment is underway, though some has been deferred
as a result of the Hendy review

19. TfL and NR are working to identify the next generation of
improvements: higher capacity radial routes

21. East and Southeast London River Crossings
21

22. There is a need to address connectivity across the River Thames
22

23. The TfL River Crossings programme
a) Silvertown Tunnel
b) A new crossing from Thamesmead – Beckton (Gallions Reach)
c) A new crossing from Belvedere - Rainham
23

24. Silvertown Tunnel
• Twin-bore road tunnel between
Greenwich Peninsula and Tidal Basin
• Links A2/A102 corridor with
Docklands
• Requires user charging of the new
crossing and the Blackwall tunnel
• User charging will manage demand
and pay for the new infrastructure
• Opportunity for significant bus
network crossing the river
• DCO application submitted April 2016
• Pending consent, the tunnel could be
open by 2022/23
24

25. Development Consent Order process
25

26. Key milestones for Silvertown tunnel
• Spring 2016 – Submit Development Consent Order (DCO) application
• Spring/Summer 2016 – Public and stakeholders can submit a response to
Planning Inspectorate
• May 2016 – TfL industry day
• Summer 2016 – Examination period begins
• Autumn 2017 – DCO decision expected
• 2018 – Award contract
• 2019 – Construction begins
• 2022/23 – Tunnel opens
26

27. Gallions Reach and Belvedere river crossings
27

28. Consultation
• Ran between 2 Dec and 12 February
• Almost 90 percent supported at least
one new crossing
• 77 per cent supported both
• We collected valuable information on
how people think they may use the
crossing
• This will help us to decide how to
incorporate public transport –
including new and extended bus
routes, and possibly a new rail link
28

29. Are they bridges or tunnels?
• We are considering the feasibility of bridges or tunnels for both crossings
• There’s still more work to be done before a decision can be made
• Factors that could influence this decision include
– What form of public transport is proposed?
– What would the land and property impacts be for each crossing?
– What would the environmental impacts be?
– What would the impact on other infrastructure be, i.e. river traffic and London
City Airport?
– Which option would be most cost effective given the questions above?

31. Next steps
• Summer 2016 – discussions with the Mayor
• Late 2016 – Carry out more detailed assessments
• 2017 – Agreement on funding and decision to proceed
• 2017/18 – Statutory consultation
• 2018 – Submit application for the powers to build the scheme
• 2021 – Contract award
• 2025 – Estimated completion
