| I’m surprised that anyone is surprised by this news. When did anything in this country ever finish on time and within budget. The lack of oversight on every major project is staggering, particularly on transport ones. A cable car to nowhere, subsided by us. An unbuilt garden bridge, subsidised by us. HS2. The ongoing debacle of our railway network. In London there’s no coherent transport strategy, unless you can call the increasing taxation of car owners a policy. Public transport is overstretched and not always an option for many journeys. Mayor Khan’s fares freeze has been a disaster for the funding structure needed to improve the Tube. Bet he doesn’t repeat that stunt next year. |
