Transport for London has agreed a seven-week extension of its current funding arrangements with the Department for Transport from 1 April until 18 May. This will cover the period until 12 days after the mayoral election and is on the same terms as for the second half of 2020/21, but TfL commissioner Andy Byford is still pressing for support beyond then and for a long-term capital funding deal. Earlier in March, he told the London Assembly that it was 'a misnomer' to say TfL was 'in negotiations' with the DfT over a third bail-out. 'Let's be really frank about this, there is no negotiation. We are answering myriad questions, literally hundreds of questions for clarification. But there is no negotiation per se.' |
