The proposed Silvertown Road Tunnel has much of the financial case based on the benefits of congestion reduction from tolling. Why are you not implementing a toll on Blackwall Tunnel now to start relieving congestion and providing investment in alternatives to road transport?

Your proposed bus driver retention scheme highlights that there is a high rate of turnover for bus drivers in London. Why are you convinced that one-off payments to bus drivers are a good solution as opposed to increasing wages?
