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.

I would be interested in the panel's view of the findings of the Joseph Rowntree Trust that said that £4-5 billion per annum is going to be needed from the Government in order to reach the targets.
