• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

Mr Mayor, you have just been asked about the relationship between yourself and ATOC on matters of the Freedom Pass and the costs. This morning London Councils has flagged up - and you may have seen it in its newsletter - its worries about ATOC asking for extra money to pay for the Freedom Pass. Now, Caroline [Pidgeon] was asking about 24 hours as I understood it but, apparently, ATOC is asking for more money for the Freedom Pass in any case when it is used on the mainline services. Are you talking to London Councils about their worries on...

Please can you state, briefly and in concrete terms, what you personally define as the most important legacy of the Games for London?

Given that both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party only want to build half a Thames Gateway bridge I think it is quite reasonable there should be a lively discussion on the issue! I think in both cases they like the northern part, but not the southern part. That is politics for you! Would you agree that you are the greenest Local Authority Leader in the country and that green voters should celebrate the fact that they have voted for you in the past and should think hard before supporting another candidate in the future?

Do you mind if I just come in because a mitigating fund is not the same as a revolving loan fund?

Peter, it was very timely, that the vision of TfL, that the Transport 2025 came out before Sir Rod Eddington's report. Some of the difficulties Tony [Arbour] is having about understanding the funding are answered in the Report; the suggestion that the cash moves from the rural rail lines to the commuter rail lines, that we extend the road pricing nationally. Can we expect TfL to be picking up some of the proceeds of those changes in funding priorities nationally?

I have a letter here in my hand from the Leader of Camden Council who is speaking on behalf of Liberal Democratic/Conservative Partnership Administration, and that is what he says in his letter. I am happy to share that with you although I am really in a state of despair about what has happened here. Would you agree that one of the things that made the Croydon Tram Link Scheme happen was that the Conservatives on Croydon Council supported this project all the way through 15 years, up until it happened? That was one of the critical success factors in...
