I've listed this article for peer review because… whilst it has been a few years I think this is mainly complete but I think it needs a bit of looking over. What should I trim from the history and what else should I include? Anything else?

Lead

The network has been extended and the capacity of its trains expanded so that now nearly 70 million journeys made every year.[1]

"journeys are made every year"?

History

For over 200 years London's docks and wharves thrived on imperial commerce.

It's better to say "more than", than "over".

particularly tobacco, timber and skins

Does "skins" refer to animal hides?

and warehouses could be used by private enterprise

Were these sold at that time?

but put on hold by Norman Fowler in 1979

Readers might find it helpful to know who Fowler was.

Opening and extensions

Sites for stations at Carmen Street (later Langdon Park) and Pudding Mill Lane were safeguarded

What is meant by "safeguarded"?

Conclusion

Seems pretty thorough and well-written. I'm not sure the prose is all that engaging, but maybe its difficult to achieve that with material that tends to be a bit dry. Be sure parts aren't overly detailed, which might be contributing to reader fatigue. Its a nice piece overall that I'm sure represents the topic well. Nicely done. Keep up the great work!
