I understand that the London Fire Brigade has raised reservations about the plan for an underground bus garage in Edgware.

Do you believe that an underground bus garage is really a viable option? What alternative options is TfL considering for the bus garage in Edgware?

The first of the new Piccadilly line trains will become operational in 2025. The Piccadilly line will operate a mix of old and new trains until all 94 of the new trains enter service by 2027.

There are only 13 Taxi Shelters left in London. Many are inaccessible due to insufficient parking spaces and are lacking proper toilet and hand washing facilities. There are 17,000 taxi drivers who could be using them but rarely do. This lack of facilities is particularly impacting female drivers and drivers at night. What are you doing to improve facilities for taxi drivers?
