New train lines being built in London

Thameslink - by Borough Market there is a block of buildings that are boarded up and not in use. This is part of Thameslink's plans to improve London Bridge station after the 2012 Olympics. I'll be 27 before this is complete!

Crossrail - this is the reason that Tottenham Court Road Station has turned into a construction site. Quote from website "Crossrail will be a world-class, affordable railway, with high frequency, convenient and accessible services across the capital - connect the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow Airport to commuter areas east and west of London."

East London Line - the reason it has been closed for 3 years - the extension project. Quote from website "By June 2010, the line will run from Dalston Junction in the north to New Cross, Crystal Palace and West Croydon in the south. By February 2011 we will have extended it to Highbury & Islington."
