Fresh calls for the Elizabeth line to be extended into Kent have been made by several London councils, who argue the scheme is “vital to catalysing housing and employment opportunities”.

In south-east London, the line currently only extends as far as Abbey Wood - in zone 4 - but a potential route further out into Ebbsfleet and Gravesend in Kent was ‘safeguarded’ by an Act of Parliament back in 2008.

Now, a group of borough authorities called Local London have commissioned an expert analysis to explore the benefits of delivering the scheme and other major transport projects.
