'Zero engagement' from Government on TfL funding crisis, Mayor says

The Mayor of London has accused the Government of “zero engagement” over Transport for London’s (TFL) funding crisis, as a current funding settlement reaches expiration.Sadiq Khan on Thursday warned of cuts which have “never been seen in London before” just one day before the fourth funding settlement of the pandemic – which took Government support to £5 billion, reaches an end on Friday.The mayor said, without a long-term funding plan, Londoners would see a 10% reduction in underground services – equivalent to an entire tube line, and the loss of more than 100 bus routes.
