The Greens have been working on pushing walking and cycling up the agenda. What would you say to Peter Hendy about the biggest change that you could make to walking and cycling? Are there any specific measures he could take to radically change the London streetscape from that point of view?

One of my concerns is that as the bus fares and Tube fares rise, we are actually going to almost force people back into their cars. That is one of the reasons I so much agreed with you about getting under-16s free on the buses; I thought that was totally inappropriate because it makes buses more crowded for other people who might want to use them. Do you think we are going to see a situation where bus fares and Tube fares mean that it actually is worth paying the Congestion Charge and using private cars again?

Central Government appear to be refusing to fund the fitting out of the 'Thameslink Box' to the west of St Pancras Station with station platforms so that Thameslink passengers can alight conveniently for onward transfer to King's Cross, Eurostar and the new domestic services on CTRL. What pressure can you bring to bear to persuade the Government that this is short-sighted and a false economy - inflicting a long walk on passengers (often with heavy luggage) across main roads to reach the old Thameslink station in Pentonville Road?
