Keith Prince AM: First of all, Mr Mayor, thank you for attending the Haven House event last week. It was very gracious of you to come along to that. Continuing on black cabs, one of the big issues of course is around The Knowledge and the massive drops we have seen in the number of black cab drivers doing The Knowledge. I have actually seen advertising for people to do The Knowledge, which is something I have never seen before. What can we do about that, Mr Mayor? What plan do you have to do about it?

Susan Hall AM: Mr Mayor, there is real growing local support and a very positive campaign from the splendid Elliot Colburn MP [for Carshalton and Wallington]. Will you start to seriously consider the extension of the Overground from West Croydon to Sutton?

Shaun Bailey AM: Mr Mayor, on 7 February [2020] 97% of Unite bus drivers voted to strike over fatigue and safety. A week later, you announced that bus drivers would receive an extra £34 million in bonuses. How many more trade unions can expect this kind of hush money?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, in terms of going further, let us look at the ULEZ. The first phase came in in April last year. It has been a huge success and I really welcome its extension in October 2021, but I do have some questions about how the wider zone is going to operate. Firstly, it is going to go up to but not include the North and South Circular. I am wondering, will you consider revising the border to include the North and South Circulars?

Susan Hall AM: First of all, bravo for those questions. Thank you very much, Assembly Member Arnold, for that. I am sure the Mayor is as surprised as I am - for once we will share an emotion - that the Assembly Member for Harrow and Brent did not even mention the wretched Metropolitan line, which has been a complete disaster for the last year. We have had nothing but trouble being turfed off trains and so on. Mr Mayor, I will ask you: are you happy with the service that -- Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): Hang on, Assembly...

Tony Devenish AM: Mr Mayor, going back to Assembly Member Arnold’s question about tin-eared anti-customer service culture, in many ways the best question I have heard in the entire four years from this Assembly, I have a suggestion for you. Will you consider involving the retiring Deputy Chair and Chair of the Assembly in the recruitment of Mr Brown’s successor? We have to sort out customer services. It is a shocking set of customer services. TfL does many things well, but customer service is not one of them.

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): I would not normally take a follow‑up question from the Member who has put that question because this is not Mayor’s update but because of the publicity and the concerns that I know of and a number of Members have raised about Hammersmith Bridge, can I ask Assembly Member Devenish if he has anything briefly to say in response to the Mayor? Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. As you know, it has been shut for 11 months, Hammersmith Bridge. We still do not have a direct plan of when we are going to...

I understand that 43 charging points have been installed for charging electric buses at the Waterloo bus garage on Cornwall Road. Has any assessment been undertaken as to how frequently these charging points are used and whether they could be used for other vehicles such as Taxis at specific times of the day?
