The campaign to get a station built on the East London Line Extension Phase 2 at Surrey Canal Road got another chance today when I persuaded the new Transport Minister, Teresa Villiers to meet with me to discuss the plans.
I informed the Minister that the station plans more than meet the criteria used by Transport for London to justify station building.
The station is pivotal to the building of 2,500 new homes and the job prospects of local people. I am very pleased that the Minister has agreed to meet with me. A station will be built at Surrey Canal Road and it makes the most sense to build it at the same time as the line. I am convinced that the case for the station is well made and I hope that the Minster will be persuaded.
