Mr Mayor, I hope that cycling safety is also a cause for concern for you. In light of your exchange with Assembly Member Boff at Mayor's Question Time on 23 May, how many of the 16 cyclists who were killed in London last year would you say died because of their own fault?

Mr Mayor, if some of the Assembly Members need to label every part of the TfL network as 'dangerous to cyclists' succeeds, could that not be used by defence counsel as an argument to reduce the legal culpability of dangerous drivers?

Mr Mayor, the question is twofold: one is that, of the 270 stations served by Underground network, only 65 which would be fully accessible come London Olympics, and then there you have got this temporary ramps, manually placed at some stations. The question is that, are those temporary ramps at all for future feasible to be used as entry measures? The serious question is --

I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?

I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.

Can you understand Londoners' frustrations? People expect you to take time off as Mayor, but when there are so many problems on the Tube that commuters face and they see you off on promotional book tours in the United States and so on, can you understand Londoners' frustration with you?

I have a question to the Mayor. Had you perhaps underestimated how difficult it would be running the Tube network?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 20 June 2012

Thanks to the pressure by yourself and others no doubt. Are you concerned that such failures on the Underground at Games time could lead to worldwide embarrassment and what are you personally doing to assure yourself that the system is going to be working as well as it can throughout the Games?
