My officials continue to consider policy options to enable commuters, and particularly key workers, to get to work and go about their daily lives without undue and unnecessary inconvenience. The Government’s commitment to supporting London’s transport network is ongoing, and we have provided close to £5 billion of support throughout the pandemic.

TfL announced on 14 October that the Night Tube will resume on Central and Victoria lines on 27 November. Should TfL wish to open further lines of the Night Tube while in receipt of emergency government funding, they will need to demonstrate how service level enhancements will be financed, given their current reliance on the national taxpayer, many of whom do not benefit from a London-style, 24-hour transport network.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 25/10/2021 16:40:34 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
