• 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”.

How would that information be made available to Londoners ' with road, rail, Tube closures so that you avoid that kind of human panic? If transport is running at any point, how are they going to receive those'?
