£1m funding deal inked with London boroughs to extend Docklands Light Railway

Transport for London (TfL) has begun feasibility work on a proposed extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) across the river Thames to link up with thousands of planned homes at Thamesmead in Greenwich.

A £1m deal to fund the work has been inked between the boroughs of Greenwich and Newham and Thamesmead Waterfront, the JV between Peabody and Lendlease which is developing the huge £8bn scheme to build at least 11,500 homes on a 250-acre riverside site in south east London.
