RT @SadiqKhan: London’s transport workers, who did so much for us during the pandemic, continue to play an essential role.

It’s been an absolute joy to work with Andy Byford; a brilliant leader who has steered TfL through some of its toughest times. I wish him all the very best as he returns to the US to be with his wife. I look forward to working with Andy Lord on TfL’s next chapter.
