With the Government promising to bring Britain’s railways back into public ownership, how should that look in practice and implementation in London?
Tomorrow, the Transport Committee will ask guests what needs to be done to ensure that new arrangements result in a better experience for passengers, and what role the Mayor should have in any further devolution of services.
The Committee will also ask the Deputy Mayor for Transport and Transport for London (TfL) for an update on the impact on passengers of the ongoing cyber incident at TfL.
Panel 1 (10am – 10.40am)
- Prof Iain Docherty, Dean of the Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Stirling
Panel 2 (10.45am – 1pm)
- Seb Dance, Deputy Mayor for Transport, Greater London Authority
- Geoff Hobbs, Director of Public Transport Service Planning, Transport for London
From 12.30 pm, the Committee will hear how TfL is trying to help passengers affected by the impact of the recent cyber attack.
The ongoing impacts of the attack include passengers being unable to apply for or renew discounted Oyster passes, and delays to the rollout of contactless payments to 47 stations.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 26 September from 10am, in the Chamber at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE.
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube.
