New Works Programme

[citation needed] Substantial and rapid progress was made on the network across the capital before the advent of World War II delayed, then prevented its completion.[6] Other parts of the land purchased for the Bushey Heath extension were farmed during the war to provide food for London Transport canteens.[8] After the war, a prioritisation of the limited resources available to London Transport saw the Central line extensions progressed, with the first new section in the east opening to Stratford in 1946 and the services to West Ruislip and Epping starting in 1948 and 1949.The completion of the electrification of the LNER's remaining tracks from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace and from Mill Hill East to Edgware was abandoned, and equipment already installed was removed for reuse elsewhere.The scheme to replace trams with trolleybuses was halted shortly after the outbreak of war, with the final conversion taking place on 9 June 1940.
