London's mayor is to cut £7.6bn from the budget of Transport for London
(TfL) over the next seven years.
A slightly muddled story I feel, though perhaps that's because I've rather
lost the thread on the overall budget cuts situation given the various
different announcements over the past few years. (But £2bn on top of £5bn
doesn't come to £7.6bn!)

I just hope that someone - in City Hall or in the media - holds Boris Johnson to account and demands exact details of what this will mean in practice and how much money will be saved.
I was chatting this morning with someone who works for London Underground and he told me that only Crossrail and HS2 will be supported with public money in the foreseeable future. As I am deeply sceptical about both projects, this depressed me.
On the other hand, if Boris Johnson denies TfL money for their road sabotage schemes - e.g. Tottenham High Road - then I will jump for joy.
