The problem TfL have had is that they've managed to increase bus
services in the central area but now lack the funds to do the same in
the suburbs. I think they were expecting more money from central
government than they actually received.

What cuts are being made?

the first phase of the
East London Line project has approval and funding,

And I look forward to it being built. However I am nervous that the
slitting of the project into two phases will mean that Phase 2 never
happens. The government are taking over control of the national rail
network and I just cannot envisage the money being made available for
the Highbury and Clapham Junction phases of this project.

Living just outside Ken's world, the first bit of my season ticket costs
a lot more than the rest of it (per mile). If we are all serious about
increasing use of public transport then the current subsidy system needs
to have a gradual edge rather than the current sharp cut-off. Apart from
the parking the car would be cheaper...
