Its Work to Achieve a New Regeneration Railway
AN ENDURING LEGACY EAST LONDON LINE GROUP 1990-2010 ITS WORK TO ACHIEVE A NEW REGENERATION RAILWAY 0 AN ENDURING LEGACY THE EAST LONDON LINE GROUP 1990-2010 ITS WORK TO ACHIEVE A NEW REGENERATION RAILWAY 1990 2012 1 This short history sets out the efforts and successes of the East London Line Group. The East London Line extensions for which the Group has campaigned are either open or well under way. The new system of getting around much of North, East and South London is part of London’s first truly orbital railway network, and creates the ‘regeneration railway’ which has been the Group’s underlying objective. The East London Line Group’s purposes The ELLG always subscribed to a specific mission. The Group was a joint body representing the common interests of the London Boroughs, local businesses and developers, regeneration agencies and public/private partnerships along the route of London Underground’s East London Line and its planned and proposed extensions. It aimed to achieve the earliest possible construction of the East London Line Extensions, for the strong regeneration benefits, the extra transport capacity and the overall value for money. It has been a 20 year story, based on an initial project created by London Underground. Supporting and stimulating a new urban transit system needed in outline just 4 miles of new and reopened railway. Would the Group have still done it, if we’d known how long, tortuous and fraught the task would be? Yes we would! – though everyone wished it could have been a much quicker and simpler process to open the line. -
