RT @barkingriver: Just three days to go until the new Barking Riverside train station opens.
The new transport link will connect Barking Riverside to Barking Station in just 7 minutes, providing easy access to central London.
RT @SadiqKhan: The managed decline of TfL would be catastrophic for Londoners who rely on public transport. It would be bad for our city, bad for our economy and bad for our country.
Londoners deserve better. The Government must agree to a long-term deal now.
RT @SadiqKhan: Chaos within central government will not distract City Hall from tackling issues that matter to Londoners. This includes:
📌 Continuing our great work on housing
📌 Securing a long-term funding deal for @TfL
📌 Appointing a reforming Met commissioner
RT @SadiqKhan: 🌎 The climate crisis is on our doorstep and impacts our everyday lives.
By taking action we can lower energy bills, clean up our air and create new jobs.
As London Climate Action Week draws to a close, here’s a roundup of announcements from City Hall this week. #LCAW2022 🧵
RT @SadiqKhan: Here in London you are free to be whoever you want to be, and love whoever you want to love.
Today has seen over one million people join our biggest ever #Pride
Proud to be your Mayor! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
The cast of #Heartstopper are every bit as warm and wonderful as the characters they play Happy #PrideInLondon everyone! X
RT @MayorofLondon: Celebrating 50 years of #PrideInLondon
Today’s Pride march is a celebration of how far we’ve come in the fight for LGBTQI+ rights & a reminder of why we must keep fighting.
Thank you to @BishopsgateInst for these pictures from the Gay Pride March 1982: Robert Workman Archive.
RT @willnorman: Today we've completed work on another section of Cycleway 4. This route will connect neighbourhoods in southeast London to central London via a fully protected cycle route between Tower Bridge Road and Greenwich.
RT @MayorofLondon: Once again I'm asking @GrantShapps to meet with me so that we can finally agree on a fair, sustainable, long-term funding deal that will protect the future of London’s transport network—for the sake of the capital and the whole country.
My letter to Grant Shapps:
@ottocrat Erm *some UK parliamentarians. Most of us did not do this!!!
@TheresaEurope So so bad. I have to try them!!
London looking fabulous this evening, complete with its own #Pride rainbow 🌈
RT @SadiqKhan: LONDON: The Night Tube returns on the Northern Line this weekend 🌜
This is fantastic news for Londoners and visitors who want to enjoy our city’s famous nightlife - and another landmark moment that will help aid London’s recovery from the pandemic.

RT @MayorofLondon: Today I announced our plans for powering the Tube network and TfL’s wider operations with 100% renewable source electricity. Another crucial step towards reducing carbon emissions and building a better, greener London for everyone.

RT @MayorofLondon: Every death and serious injury on our roads is a tragedy—I refuse to accept them as inevitable.
Our Vision Zero action plan sets out tough measures to help reduce risk and eliminate death and serious injury from London's roads.

RT @SadiqKhan: London stands with Oslo.
Our thoughts and solidarity are with the victims, their families and all those affected by this horrific attack, hours before Oslo's #Pride was due to take place.
#LoveIsLove and hate will never win.

RT @MayorofLondon: UPDATE on the Government's approach to TfL:
The Government has only given TfL another short-term extension—of just a matter of weeks—to the current emergency funding deal.
This is no way to treat Londoners and the transport network they rely upon.
RT @Royal_Greenwich: Today our Leader Cllr @MrOkereke met with @rokhsanafiaz, Mayor Of Newham, @abenaopp MP for Erith & Thamesmead and @SebDance, Deputy Mayor of London for Transport, to discuss how we can collaborate and unlock potential of #Thamesmead with extension of #DLR. 🚆🚆🚆
Yes, driving a train is every bit as fun as I thought it would be 😃 🚂
RT @AlstomUK: Great to host @SebDance at our site in Derby. It was excellent to see him drive a new Aventra train on our test track.
Projects in partnership with TfL support hundreds of jobs and apprenticeships in Derby and at other Alstom sites across the UK.
