Hackney: the place - Transport
In 2005 Hackney won Most Improved Transport Borough and Best Bus Borough. In 2006 Transport for London named Hackney as Best Bike Borough.
According to the Local Futures/Local Government Chronicle Report of June 2006, Hackney is one of the top ten best boroughs in Great Britain for its transport connections. Liverpool Street and the City are only ten minutes away by train from the centre of Hackney.
By 2009 extra investment of £109 million on the North London line will bring eight trains an hour, with 20% increase in the number of carriages.
In 2010 Hackney will be connected to the tube network with a station at Dalston. And by 2012 Hackney will be benefiting from the improved transport for the Olympics.
