The Piccadilly Line suffers from serious overcrowding, particularly the route from Heathrow Airport to central London. This problem may be alleviated by the opening of Crossrail services in 2019, but what plans do you have in the interim to reduce overcrowding on this line?

In answer to freedom of information requests (MGLA41215 - 1959 and MGLA211215 - 1781) it has been clarified that the Mayor attended San Francisco in early February 2013 to meet senior representatives of Apple.

Thinking about evacuation, I am sure you will agree it is important that the extent to which people are educated in advance of the crisis about what is expected of them will help in the management at the time. Looking at the Preparing for Emergencies booklet, which has been mentioned, that has three generic bullet points on this issue, and if you compare that with what is available to New Yorkers, in terms of a very detailed guide, with evacuation there absolutely, all sorts of things, down to what to do with your pets, which I am sure is a...

Can I press you a bit further on this, then, Mr Mayer. I paraphrase what you were saying, of course, but the first that happens is that we have a discussion on how major an incident it is, and therefore who takes the lead for it. Then we have, what I am sure will be an interesting discussion between the Minister for London and the Mayor of London as to who gets on the television first, and if it is not a sufficiently important incident, then the director of GOL takes charge of us all. That is not quite what...
