It provides services to areas, including Bermondsey, which have never had Tube links. It is the only Tube line to connect with all the other existing lines as well as to the Docklands Light Railway, the river bus, and London's bus system. The JLE is built to the highest standards. New stations and trains are designed to be accessible, convenient and safe for everyone. All stations on the extension have step-free access from street level to the trains, and lifts as well as escalators.
All trains have space for wheelchairs.
The new stations are a showcase for the best of modern architecture and have won architectural awards and praise from critics. The EJL is obviously proving itself to be an important new public transport link in London. I salute the efforts of all those involved in bringing the project to fruition. With access from the Bakerloo and Northern lines and Waterloo mainline station, including Eurostar, the Jubilee Line Extension becomes integral to the London transport system. The extension will transform accessibility to Docklands, East and Central London.
