The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and Transport Secretary, Geoff Hoon, have today reached agreement on funding for phase two of the East London Line, which will complete the London Overground network and create an orbital railway around the capital.
This means phase two of the East London Line will be constructed before the 2012 Games at a cost of £75 million. The scheme will link Surrey Quays on the East London line extension to Clapham Junction, providing direct links to the City and Docklands.
