TfL/GetLiving/Southwark Council – ELEPHANT & CASTLE STATION CAPACITY UPGRADE PROJECT – TfL Transport for London (TfL) preparations are still ongoing to finalise the site before construction starts for the new passenger tunnels. Once construction is complete, the new station and passenger tunnels will provide a seamless connection to Northern line services at Elephant & Castle, while future-proofing for the Bakerloo Line Extension and supporting the delivery of new homes and jobs as part of the wider redevelopment. If you’d like to find out more about the project, take a look at TfL’s project noticeboard outside of the Northern line entrance to the station! Some further trial holes are being dug on the Peninsula, opposite the Michael Faraday Memorial near to Elephant & Castle Underground Station entrance, to understand the ground conditions. This will help TfL identify the best way to carry out the work and is expected to be completed by mid-November.
