‘Sadiq Khan’s priorities as Chairman of TfL are all wrong.’
Yesterday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced London Overground Lines will be given new names. The Emerson Park line known locally as the ‘push and pull’, will now be known as The Liberty Line.
Responding to this announcement, City Hall Conservatives Transport Spokesman Keith Prince said:
“This is a wasted opportunity. Sadiq Khan and TfL could have earned tens of millions of pounds by offering naming rights to Overground train lines. This money could have been invested in much needed upgrades to Central Line trains and other infrastructure.
“Sadiq Khan’s priorities as Chairman of TfL are all wrong. Londoners are more concerned about the daily chaos across the Tube network including long delays on the Central Line and disruption on the Elizabeth Line. They are very concerned about how they will get to and from work next week when the RMT strikes for four days – a record 140th TfL strike under Sadiq Khan’s watch.
“This Mayor prefers to make shiny announcements rather than do the hard yards. Londoners must vote Sadiq Khan out on 2 May and elect Susan Hall as Mayor.”
