Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to both of you. Commissioner, just last month TfL published an updated Cycling Action Plan. The Cycling Action Plan notes that the fear of collisions and road danger is the most common barrier to cycling. There are still many streets in London with too much fast-moving traffic to be safe for people who are walking and cycling. Many people tell me they are concerned the police are not doing enough to support the victims of road crime, particularly in investigations. Therefore, can you outline the responsibilities of the Road and Transport Policing...

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Building on the conversation that we are just finishing off with Assembly Member Marina Ahmad about the scrappage scheme. I thought it would be worth, given that we have had a back and forth and were looking for lessons learned, drilling down a little bit more into the review of the London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment. In front of me it says: “TfL is reviewing the effectiveness of the previous ULEZ scrappage scheme that enabled over 15,000 polluting vehicles to be removed from London’s roads to inform the development of any future scheme.” It...

Now that the Elizabeth line has opened to passengers, will you review the decision not to provide fully publicly accessible loos at every station given that excellent public toilets would help make this line truly world class?

Caroline Russell AM: Commissioner, Crossrail has launched recently. I think we can all agree it is a great railway and it is great that it is fully accessible in the central section, but it should also be accessible to people who need to use a loo. Commissioner, when will you start retrofitting loos into all stations without toilets on the Elizabeth line?

Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Commissioner and Mr Mayor. Commissioner, I will start with you. Following on the theme of buses, but hopefully on a more positive note, the TfL Bus Action Plan aims to increase the speed of journeys. What I wanted to hear from you is how do you ensure that this does not adversely affect some groups who need to be given proper time to board buses safely?

Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I will be addressing my question to you. My question is concerning creating financial sustainability in TfL by 2023. TfL has reduced its funding requirement for the financial year from £2.7 billion identified in the March 2021 budget down to £1.9 billion in the July revised budget. Can you explain what you have done to create this £800 million saving and whether you are still on course to becoming financially sustainable by April 2023?

Caroline Russell AM: Mr Mayor, I want to focus on the challenge of Vision Zero. Up to the end of July, sadly, 34 people have died on London’s roads this year. In this last month, two deaths have stood out in the media: Dr Marta Krawiec, a 41-year-old children’s doctor, who died at Holborn as she cycled to work, and Melissa Burr, who was 32 and died walking at Victoria Bus Station. Knowing the names of people who have lost their lives on London’s roads reminds us that this is not about statistics, but people and their friends, their families...
