• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Shaun Bailey AM: Morning to our guests. Can I address my question to the Mayor? It has been reported in a number of places in the press that a supposed whistle-blower has talked about a metal box that could explode and cause the doors on the new Elizabeth line trains to fly off. Are you aware of these claims and how accurate are they?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Joanne McCartney AM: My first question is to the Commissioner and it is regarding TfL’s Capital Plan. I just want to know how the negotiations with Government are going - and I have asked you before - about the Piccadilly line signalling and track, which is getting increasingly old and unreliable, as you told us at our last Transport Committee meeting. Please, could you just give us a brief update?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am going to talk about something completely different now, although obviously I could talk about Crossrail all morning. As part of London’s recovery, we need to take significant steps to improve the sustainability of transport, particularly in outer London. Mobility hubs are dedicated spaces where public transport options, such as buses, Tubes, trains, trams, shared hire schemes, car clubs, bike hire, a range of other facilities such as click and collect points, electric vehicle charging stations and a café are collocated to enable sustainable low-carbon journeys and reduce private car use. These schemes have been...

• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Nick Rogers AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. You talked about the Elizabeth line, and it is an absolutely fantastic piece of British engineering. I have really enjoyed travelling on it. It will make a huge difference, not just to London, but to the southeast and beyond. While we are all extremely happy that it is open, we cannot ignore the sometimes tortured journey that it took to get to that point. Do we have a clear picture, Mr Mayor, of the financial impact overall in terms of lost revenue and additional capital spending of the delay to...

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Siân Berry AM: Just briefly, I just want to say at the start that I have already had lots of constituents get in touch about huge concerns they have about cuts to the buses. That consultation is vital, and I will be encouraging many Londoners to respond. But today, for my questions, I am going to focus on fares and the cost of living and put my first question to the Mayor. I am really concerned about the impact of the cost of living crisis on people who depend on using public transport. A Royal College of Nursing survey in...

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, one of the punitive measures that was required as part of the funding deal was to get TfL back to financial sustainability by April 2023. Will TfL be financially sustainable by that date?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 03 March 2022

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to hear the answer to the question about the revival of Soho. I am sure that Amy Lam é will be able to give the answer in less than 40 seconds. Thank you, Chair.

• Question by: Zack Polanski
• Meeting date: 03 March 2022

Zack Polanski AM: Luke, I want to continue the conversation about high streets and I also want to bring it back to a conversation we had earlier about smart, privacy‑friendly, fair road user charging. If we look at high streets, we can look at Waltham Forest with the mini‑Holland. The evidence there is clearly that people spend more than when they are on foot than when they are in cars. In fact, TfL’s own research shows that pedestrians spend 40% more than people driving. Now, there are obviously health benefits, environmental benefits and safety benefits to reducing traffic and making...

• Question by: Anne Clarke
• Meeting date: 03 March 2022

Anne Clarke AM: Luke, my questions are to you. I am going to ask you questions on the high streets, if that is OK. How integral is the support to London’s high streets to London’s economic recovery and businesses?

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 03 March 2022

Susan Hall AM: I am addressing my questions to the Deputy Mayor. First of all, with your interactions with my colleague, Assembly Member Rogers, I know you have had a memory loss of the businesses that you have spoken to, their names, but what were their answers to you, when you spoke to these businesses that we do not know who they were? When you spoke to these anonymous businesses, what did they say about the impact of the strike on their businesses?
