• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. You may be aware that one of the things the Government was supposed to announce in the Autumn Statement was the whole announcement around the buy-as-you-go thought to help more people get on to the housing ladder. Do you think that would help in addressing the London housing crisis?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning to you, Commissioner, and Mr Mayor. I just wanted to go back to some of the points raised by Assembly Member Bailey in terms of the night Tube. The first two lines are coming in in less than six weeks from today, and I am very happy that one of them will be going through my constituency, the Victoria line. I just wanted to go back to some of the points that you raised, Commissioner, in terms of the impact of the 24-hour licence, and this is an issue that has...

To what extent have LOCOG been successful in ensuring value for money and adequate public consultation in relation to temporary venues?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 21 October 2009

I am going to focus in on Greenwich, which, I am sure you are both aware, is becoming a slightly controversial area. A quick opening question: in the bid book the estimated cost for the temporary venues in Greenwich Park was £8.8 million. What is the current estimated cost?

And what is the answer to my question? Why did nobody provide coaches, buses or train tickets and depend on the parents driving 300-mile round trips every weekend?

• Question by: Dee Doocey
• Meeting date: 10 November 2007

My final question is to Seb. Seb, does it worry you, as I am sure it should, that we keep reading things in the press about divers having to go to Sheffield and cyclists having to drive round the M25 in rush hour during the week in order to be able to train? Nobody could have foreseen that there were going to be problems with Crystal Palace? Surely these are the people that you are trying to inspire; these are the people that you are reaching out to so successfully. Once you realised that these people had to go to...
