Been following Oxford Street for ..er.. a while. Some thoughts: What unlocked it was the unprecedented use of a development corporation that removes council powers. What you see today is just a start real work starts in Spring. Provision of cycling routes needed…..

I saw many reincarnations of Oxford Street pedestrianisation all thrown the dustbin, so I am a little bit surprised that it has actually happened.

At the moment Stratford International is .. er.. not International. Costs of putting in border controls etc have always been prohibitive before particularly as only 10mins from St. Pan .. be interesting to see what has changed.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
@MayorofLondonOct 8
Stratford is one of Europe’s great regeneration success stories. It’s ready for its next chapter - European rail links. I’m proud to say I’m working with the government to deliver new cross-Channel trains from East London. The benefits would be felt far beyond our city. cityam.com/sadiq-khan-run-in…

Sadiq Khan: Run international trains from Stratford instead of expanding Heathrow

With more Brits supporting increasing international rail over expanding airports, connecting Stratford to Europe is a no-brainer, writes Sadiq Khan.

TfL confirms it will apply for DLR extension to Thamesmead in early 2027 (link to article in reply below) The third and final consultation on the proposed DLR extension to Thamesmead has, unsurprisingly, favoured building it.
