The first consultation on a brand new Overground line in west London closes on Wednesday 18 November. Make sure to have your say on these exciting plans, which could transform travel in west London, and support thousands of new homes and jobs. https://t.co/lURLPfOkEU

The numbers are in: footfall *and* spending are up on Oxford Street.

Fare evasion robs @TfL of vital income that should be reinvested back into the network.

That's why TfL have launched Operation Vector, a new initiative to target and prosecute persistent fare-evaders.

We are deeply saddened by the railway accident in Spain. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who have lost their lives, and we send our heartfelt support to the injured and everyone affected.

I was at Northolt station today to see the new step-free entrance and new accessible toilets, which will help people travel more confidently and comfortably.

London is for everyone, and projects like this help us build a network that’s more inclusive and sustainable.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Today’s Budget is a really positive and significant day for London.

At its heart is a new devolution revolution.

My statement:

[Seb Dance @SebDance]

Today I walked down the middle of Oxford Street. In my (ahem) many years of being a Londoner that’s never something I’ve been able to do; until today! Come and see for yourself as the nation’s high street is reborn and reimagined for the 21st Century and beyond.

⚡@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 👇

Praising Vladimir Putin as a humanitarian? What world are you living in? It’s obscene

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]

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

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

A statement on the Prime Minister’s speech.

[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.”

[Seb Dance @SebDance]

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.
