Tunnelling work to modernise and expand Bank Underground station has been completed, marking a major milestone in the project.

It will eventually be good news for London City Airport as one of the major connections to the East London airport is finally updated.   Total work on the massive underground complex will not be completed until 2022.

At present the DLR is timed at just 20 minutes to Bank Station.  The ‘fun’ starts at that point with connections to the Northern Line simple, but to the Central Line complex and Circle/District Line trains not recommended (Tower Gateway and a change is shorter and simpler).  The Waterloo and City Line is presently closed.  Actually, getting to the surface to the point you want is not easy either.

With the Elizabeth Line still some way away (and no progress on a London City Airport Station) the establishment of a walkway from Poplar DLR to the Canary Wharf Elizabeth Line station remains an idea.

The airport has released an image of the new taxiway, where work is continuing.
