Jubilee Line Extension
The Jubilee Line Extension is the extension of the London Underground Jubilee Line into southern and eastern London. The last station not on the extension is Green Park, then it continues east to:
- Westminster
- Waterloo
- Southwark (new station)
- London Bridge
- Bermondsey (new station)
- Canada Water
- Canary Wharf (new station)
- North Greenwich (new station)
- Canning Town (new station; interchange with DLR)
- West Ham
- Stratford
The Jubilee line had originally been intended to go further east, but it had been abandoned. The revival of the extension plan was motivated by the revival of the Docklands in east London and the overloading of the existing Docklands Light Railway. It was authorised in 1990 and the the extension finally opened in late 1999, in time for the North Greenwich tube station to serve the Millennium Dome.
The extension is marked by large platforms and halls, that are only ever full in a busy rush hour. North Greenwich especially is far too big for the numbers using it. Other features include doors on the platforms that open when trains arrive, to stop people accidentally falling onto the track.
