Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, I welcome the further progress on step-free stations in London that you outlined.

Further to your answer to question 1609, in light of your desire to increase cycle provision in London, would you advocate the removal of trains and track so that the Underground can be turned into one big cycle network under the city and do you think that this would improve travel times on the Northern line?
