All change at Bank!
Lots of very happy passengers at the brand-new Canon St entrance at Bank Station with @SadiqKhan.
Bank is one of the largest underground stations in the world and - now the improvement works are complete - a station to enjoy travelling through.

20mph roads are safer, and drivers get to where they’re going at the same time as before.
Research by @tfl shows:
- 25% fewer collisions 📉
- 36% fewer w/ vulnerable people 📉
Safer roads, calmer traffic: better streets for all.

RT @willnorman: Air pollution is raising blood pressure and damaging our children’s hearts.
It’s vital we clean up London’s air. That’s why ULEZ and all the other measures we are taking to enable more walking, cycling & public transport journeys are so important.
