⚡@TfL has just launched a consultation on our ambition for all private hire vehicles in London to be zero-emission by 2030.

This would be a major step towards a greener transport network for our city.

Have your say 👇

Stratford is one of Britain's most successful examples of transport-led regeneration, with so much more potential for growth. International train services would transform Stratford into a true European gateway, boosting London’s economy and helping drive growth and jobs.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Good news for Londoners: Thanks to our efforts, Stratford International is one step closer to welcoming international trains by 2030.

Direct links to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam could unlock jobs, investment and growth across east London and beyond.

It's time for Stratford International to live up to its name.

Delighted to join partners at Surrey Quays this week to mark the opening of the station's new entrance and ticket hall.

As well as making the station fully step-free, the upgrade will help support the thousands of new homes and jobs coming to the area. ♿🚉

[Seb Dance @SebDance]

Great op-ed in @CityAM from @mayoroflondon today. Running international services to Stratford would offer a sustainable alternative to flying, as well as providing a boost to east London’s economy and helping drive growth and local jobs in the area and across the city and country

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Stratford is one of Europe’s great regeneration success stories. It’s ready for its next chapter - European rail links.

I’m proud to say I’m working with the government to deliver new cross-Channel trains from East London. The benefits would be felt far beyond our city.

Today @TfL published the results of the third consultation on the DLR extension from Beckton Riverside to Thamesmead, showing strong public support of this vital project, which could unlock new homes and jobs, and boost growth across London and beyond. https://t.co/c52pwfWoWw

[Places for London @placesforlondon]

We’re excited to share that we are currently exploring options to shape a new vision for the area outside Baker Street Station.

Andy Burnham is right that ‘hope comes from honesty’.

That’s why Labour must make the case for rejoining the EU ⬇️

[Libby Wiener @LibbyWienerITV]

‘Brexit has done more harm than good’ @andyburnham says plainly. He pledges to improve relations with Britain’s biggest trading partner, the EU

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Andy Burnham, to huge applause: “The British right like to talk about take back control. Never let them forget they’re the ones who gave it away.”

Delighted that @TfL are launching this landmark pilot to explore how cleaning services could be brought in-house and delivered by a directly-employed workforce. 🚇🧼 https://t.co/jWputhyKyd

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A new comprehensive pilot exploring how @TfL can deliver cleaning services in-house will begin this week.

I’ve long championed insourcing where possible, and that of course includes our hard working and essential cleaning staff. I’m pleased that TfL is taking this important step both for customers and for the dedicated cleaning colleagues who help keep London moving.

I want to thank the RMT for their work and invaluable input.

🚍Big news for London's buses.

Today we've unveiled Buses for London - the capital's new publicly owned bus company.

We're reimagining the bus network to deliver better value, support our climate goals, and improve journeys for passengers and drivers. 👇

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A new chapter for London’s buses.

I’m launching Buses for London with @TfL - the capital’s publicly owned bus company. Starting with Route 6 in 2027, we’ll reinvest profits into better services, safer journeys and a greener network.

More homes. More jobs. Better connections.

The West London Orbital has the potential to transform travel across west London while helping tackle congestion and improve air quality. 👇

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

From Hounslow to Hendon, without the detour.

The proposed West London Orbital would create a new passenger rail link, unlock 25,000+ homes, support thousands of jobs, improve air quality and help cut congestion.

Have your say in our public consultation now: https://t.co/2fwwIXAEAc

🥳 Happy 10th Birthday to the Hopper Fare! 🥳

Since the Hopper Fare launched on 12 September 2016, more than 1.43 billion ‘hops’ have taken place across on London’s buses, helping to build a better, greener and fairer London for everyone.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Anyone who witnessed the terrible events of 9/11 unfold 25 years ago will never forget them.

Time has not faded our memory of the thousands of innocent people who were killed in the most appalling acts of terrorism - including 67 Britons, many of whom were from London.

Today London stands with the people of New York City. Those who sought to destroy our way of life have not won, and never will.

[Seb Dance @SebDance]

I'm delighted that every bus cab will get air conditioning, helping support the hard-working drivers who are at the heart of our transport network, day in and day out.

A real step forward for those who serve London every day. 🚍☀️

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

NEW: Very pleased that TfL have reached a ground-breaking agreement with @unitetheunion to provide air conditioning in every bus cab in London.

This is personal to me. I know that London’s hard-working bus drivers play a vital role.

Thank you for keeping London moving during this unprecedented summer.

[Seb Dance @SebDance]

📢 Great news for east and south London 📢: The first three of 54 brand-new DLR trains have entered service! 🚉 https://t.co/90wMTHxFJn

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Spacious walk-through carriages, live travel information, air conditioning: new DLR trains are in service.

These state-of-the-art trains will transform journeys for millions of Londoners across east and south London, with extra capacity to support new homes and jobs.
