Deputy Mayor of London for Transport and Deputy Chair, TfL | Former MEP for London, Vice-Chair EP Environment Committee (ENVI) and Deputy Leader European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP)
TfL is planning to retain the popular 310 bus route to the network. The service, introduced after a pledge from Mayor of London, will continue connecting key areas in North London with a direct service and helping to build a better, safer and greener London for everyone.

The Bakerloop is here, and from today, it's totally free for one week!

Running an express service from Waterloo to Lewisham, it traces the route of the proposed Bakerloo line extension.

All aboard! 🚍

Pedicabs could be a fun, quick and green way to get around London, but they’re currently unregulated, which can lead to antisocial driving, loud music and steep overcharging. So, we're planning to regulate pedicabs for the first time in London, to make London safer and greener.

A really interesting afternoon spent at British Transport Police offices in Victoria. We spoke about issues facing London’s transport network including sexual offences and the recent rise in graffiti. We will keep working together to build a better, safer London for everyone.

It’s official: the Silvertown Tunnel is proving a big win for London.

Public transport use has more than doubled!

A new report from TfL demonstrates that the tunnel is achieving its key aims of easing congestion, increasing public transport use and improving journeys for all bit.ly/4kUhdHw

A real honour to meet @mayoroliviachow.ca of Toronto 🇨🇦 today for a highly productive discussion on shared challenges and opportunities for our cities: building high-quality housing, tackling congestion, promoting active travel and much more.

🎂 Happy 3rd birthday to the Elizabeth Line!

At over 500m journeys so far, it’s already the UK's most popular railway. 🚆

It's proof of the value to the UK of investing in London, to create new economic growth with thousands of new jobs and homes along its route and beyond.

But cities of all sizes, including London, face similar barriers to modal shift.

We can learn a great deal from our partners in Europe, from metroisation of urban rail to grid capacity upgrades.

Hugely grateful for fascinating discussions and the opportunity to strengthen ties.

Very encouraging data which shows the positive impact the new Silvertown Tunnel is having in east and southeast London. The route 108 which travels through the Blackwall Tunnel has seen a significant increase in reliability since the Silvertown Tunnel opened 🎉

I mean what’s not to like about this??

Fantastic visit to Lambeth today! 🚶‍♀️🌿

Joined Cllrs Claire Holland & Rezina Chowdhury on a walk from Streatham Hill to Brixton - great to see work underway to make safer crossings, better bus lanes, greener streets, and more space for walking & cycling

Making London’s transport network as accessible as possible is a top priority for the Mayor and TfL. It was great to meet with @drrosena.bsky.social today in Tooting to discuss how to make her borough’s stations more accessible

Today we remember the extraordinary sacrifice of a generation who - 80 years ago - defied the appeasers and refused to take the easy way out, who chose to stand up to tyranny and hatred.

Raise a glass to freedom today and honour those who told fascism where to go!

💡Safer and greener streets benefit both the environment & our health.

TfL has agreed £87.6m of funding over 3 years with London boroughs to deliver projects making London safer and more accessible for all, including new cycle routes, School Streets and pedestrian crossings ://bit.ly/4lTWSnF

Toilet provision can make the difference in whether or not someone travels by public transport, so it's great that a brand-new accessible toilet has opened at White Hart Lane, funded by @london.gov.uk
biggest ever investment in toilets on the network.

In Parliament this morning for meetings with Dan Francis MP, James Asser MP & Uma Kumaran MP to discuss bus provision, the Silvertown Tunnel, cycle safety and the Mayor's focus on investing in strategic infrastructure to unlock thousands of new homes and stimulate investment.

Great to be at the Railway Museum last night to hear Heidi Alexander set out her vision for a Decade of Transport: delivering fairer, more reliable public transport that unlocks opportunity and drives economic growth.
April 11, 2025 at 2:58 PM
In Walthamstow this afternoon with Stella Creasy MP to see the safety improvements TfL have made to the bus station.

Safety is the Mayor’s number one priority and TfL is committed to making the network safer for Londoners through its comprehensive Bus Safety Programme.

Both Vienna and London want the same thing - safer, sustainable cities, where more people take active and public transport.

Greatly enjoyed sharing the successes and challenges with my Viennese counterpart Ulli Sims alongside Will Norman, London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner.

Delighted to be in Croydon for the Big Community Transport Tour! 🚍🚴‍♂️🚈🚃

We're connecting with communities to improve London's transport - proud of our progress with zero-emission buses, Superloop routes, and safer speed limits.

Look forward to our continued collaboration!

Wonderful visit to Rocking Horse Nursery in Barnet today with Mayor of London & stakeholders to launch the ULEZ One Year Report 🌳

Londoners are breathing cleaner air thanks to our policies - benefiting all, and especially the youngest in our city.
