@jonwillchambers Former there, being enhanced. Latter on the way!
RT @LabourCycles: New Deputy Mayor for London, @SebDance - ‘Active transport is a social justice & public health issue.’
‘250km of protected bike lanes, 100+ LTNs and over 500 school streets - If we build it, people will use it’

RT @willnorman: Do you want cleaner air in London? Have you had your say? Take part in the consultation today.
RT @TfL: A strike by station staff is planned across the Tube network on Monday 6 June
We will keep as many stations as possible open, but we expect that this strike will cause severe disruption and the closure of many Tube stations
RT @SadiqKhan: The Tory bus cuts explained: 🧵
1️⃣ During the pandemic, Londoners did the right thing and stayed at home to save lives.
But doing so decimated TfL's finances because it is so reliant on fares revenue.
RT @MayorofLondon: Two weeks ago, the Prime Minister and I opened the Elizabeth line with Her Majesty the Queen. Two weeks later, and the Government is forcing cuts to London’s iconic bus network.
My letter to the PM:
RT @LDNLutonAirport: Great to have @SebDance Deputy Mayor of London for Transport visit LLA recently. With the DART people mover nearing completion, it's an exciting time for the airport and public transport links to and from the capital #LondonLutonAirport @LutonRising
RT @SadiqKhan: An impressive start for the Elizabeth line and a huge economic boost for London:
🚆 1 million journeys
📈 10% boost to rail capacity in central London
⏱ Up to 50% reduced journey times between key stations including Farringdon to Canary Wharf https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/30/more-than-1m-trips-made-on-central-section-of-elizabeth-line
RT @willnorman: Simply amazing seeing so many people out enjoying themselves @RideLondon
RT @MayorofLondon: Launching the Elizabeth line has made me realise how many railfans there are out there 👀
Some fun stats if you're one of them:
Day 1
🟣 260K journeys made in central section
🟣 460K across whole line
Day 2
🟣 230K journeys in central section
🟣 450K across whole line
RT @SadiqKhan: Great to meet with @NewWestEnd to discuss how we can get the West End back on its feet and thriving as it was before the pandemic.
The West End is a cultural powerhouse, and it must be protected. I'll keep doing everything I can to drive footfall through their doors.
RT @SadiqKhan: Tickets at the ready 🚆
Take a trip with me on the first service of London’s brand new Elizabeth line.
RT @SadiqKhan: With spacious new stations and state-of-the-art, air conditioned trains, London’s brand-new Elizabeth line is now open!
By 5pm today - a quarter of a million journeys had already been made - which shows just how vital this service will be.
What a great day! Congratulations to everyone who made this landmark railway a reality. Decades in the making, and a new line Londoners can be rightly proud of. 💜💜 #ElizabethLine
RT @JamesCleeton: Super exciting to see the #ElizabethLine finally open its doors to the public. London is a world class city that needs world class joined-up public transport. This will help millions of people travel into and around the capital without the need for a car. @SebDance @willnorman
@jessicaelgot Only initially. Later this year you will be able to travel through without changing. In the meantime, the journey across Central London will be very much quicker, and the change at Paddington is comparable to - if not easier than - the change from the Bakerloo.
RT @AlstomUK: It's great to see @SadiqKhan onboard the Elizabeth line this morning, not only fantastic news for London, but for Derby too! Alstom designed, manufactured and tested the trains in Derby for @TfL The project helped to support 760 UK jobs and 80 apprenticeships #mobilitybynature
