Transport for London (TfL) has been at the centre of the Crossrail delay since it was announced in August last year.
The report ‘Derailed: Getting Crossrail back on track’ published yesterday investigates how the project came to be far from on time or on budget, and looks at the role TfL has played in the situation so far.
Tomorrow, the London Assembly Transport Committee will put questions about its report and other transport-related issues to TfL’s Commissioner, Mike Brown MVO.
Topics for discussion include:
-
TfL’s 2018-19 performance
-
Rail in London
-
Freight
-
Taxi & Private Hire
-
Buses
The meeting will take place on Thursday, 25 April 2019 at 10:00am in The Chamber (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE via webcast
