    Which single Transport issue in London is causing you the most concern at the moment?

    Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear you say that you think the employers and the unions should negotiate because the union has been very clear and is still saying that they have not had a single meeting with any of the employers, and I think there are 20, 21, involved in this, nor have they had a meeting with TfL to negotiate.

    Mr Mayor, I am encouraged to hear that. What will you do if the employers do not respond positively to the suggestions that have been made, as the clock counts down to the Olympics?

    I think most Londoners would think that, five weeks away from the Olympics, it is ridiculous that the bus drivers cannot even get the employers to discuss their claim. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to bring both sides together to have this discussion?

    Have you picked up the phone to any of the employers to actually ask them to get on with some sensible negotiation?

    Jennette Arnold (Chair): OK. We have four more speakers. I will take Assembly Member Copley. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a few questions on Crossrail 2, which it is pleasing to note there is cross-party support for -- Jenny Jones (AM): No. Tom Copley (AM): -- or almost cross-party support for it. First of all, can you update us on discussions you have had with the Government since the election regarding Crossrail 2?

    OK. Good. What sort of engagement have you been having with broader London, other stakeholders like Network Rail and London businesses?

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    When you are having your discussions with the Government, there are two options, really, that they have identified for Crossrail 2, one of which is a smaller scale metro option and the other is a more expensive regional option but with probably far more longer-term benefits. Are you pushing the Government for the more expensive version of this, which would deliver greater economic benefits in the long term to London?

    Of course. You have actually pre-empted a question I was going to ask about Euston's ability to cope without Crossrail 2 if HS2 does go ahead. Do you think it is the case, then, that HS2 cannot go ahead into Euston if we do not get Crossrail 2?
