Do you think it is accurate to describe the Silvertown Tunnel as a 'public transport focused' scheme when under current plans it enables modal shift from car to bus of 2000 trips per day, but also enables an additional 15-30,000 motor vehicle trips per day?

Your answer to question 2023/1883 indicates that, of the 10,500 new daily bus trips forecast to be taken on Silvertown Tunnel buses, approximately 7,200 are modal shift from rail trips, and 1450 are modal shift from walking/cycling trips. This leaves 2,000 transfers from motor vehicle trips. What will be the cost to TfL of each of these 2000 daily trips that are shifted from cars, including bus subsidy and loss of income from rail use?

When Silvertown opens, with or without a toll, it will send between 20,000 and 30,000 more vehicles into Newham every day, even with a toll. Please tell me how many extra tons of NOX and PM that extra traffic will bring into Newham each year?

Nearly all of the supposed economic benefits from the Silvertown Tunnel come from supposed reductions in congestion - and these depend in turn on future traffic forecasts. All the forecasts you have used to estimate these benefits come from before your 2018 Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS), which has targets for substantial reductions in car use. Given that the 2018 MTS was established before you signed the contract for Silvertown, why didn't you reevaluate the case for the scheme using updated figures consistent with the MTS before signing the contract?

All of the supposed economic benefits from the Silvertown Tunnel come from supposed reductions in congestion. However, in the business case for the scheme, you have not disaggregated the effects of the tunnel from the effects of a potential toll on the Blackwall Tunnel. Can you provide any credible proof that opening the Silvertown Tunnel itself, with or without a toll, provides any economic benefits, either in the case where the Blackwall Tunnel is tolled, or where it is not?

Can you confirm the fact that all of your pollution, carbon, and economic modelling for the Silvertown tunnel includes the effect of both a toll on Silvertown and the effect of a new toll on the existing Blackwall Tunnel, for the entire lifetime of the scheme, despite the fact that any such tolls are at the discretion of whoever is Mayor at the time, and despite the fact that there is no obligation on future mayors to implement such a toll? What is your estimate of the likelihood of all of these mayors independently deciding to implement this charge?
