Jo has welcomed the announcement of Network Rail's proposals to transform London Bridge Station. Jo said, "London Bridge is the latest of many London terminals to be given a 21st century makeover. The plans for the station and the surrounding neighbourhood are stunning, and I know they will be met with great enthusiasm from residents in Orpington, many of whom use London Bridge as a gateway to central London.
"An increase in passenger capacity by two thirds, step-free access and easing congestion at the station's approach are all long-overdue and most welcome. I shall be monitoring the efforts of Network Rail to minimise disruption to Southeastern commuters and I look forward to working with officials to ensure rail users are not inconvenienced unnecessarily".
