I'm no fan of Peter Hendy and wouldn't be sorry to see him go, but his private
life is his business.

Needless to say, this was a big story in today's Standard:

London's transport boss Sir Peter Hendy did not spend any public money on a
fling with an escort girl, friends said today.

Married Sir Peter, whose taxpayer-funded salary and bonus paid last year
totalled £660,000, is alleged to have pursued the affair with call girl
Rachael Grundy for nine months as he planned the hugely successful 2012
Olympics transport system.

City Hall was under pressure today after the claims about the relationship.

The Transport for London chief is said to have met Ms Grundy at her flat in
Victoria and at his nearby flat.

If he had used public funds during the affair, he could face calls to repay
it. But friends say that no taxpayer’s cash was used.

“No public money was involved,� said a source, “not a penny.�

Ms Grundy, 40, told The Sun how she fell in love with Sir Peter after he
allegedly contacted her through her escort website adultwork.com.

The £140-an-hour call girl said: “He seemed a lovely, considerate, polite
man and he was lots of fun.

“He contacted me through my escort website and booked me for a three-hour
session at my flat. We hit it off immediately.

“I stopped charging him by the hour and it developed into a proper
relationship — I fell in love with him. He’d give me money but we never
discussed it. It wasn’t about money.�

A source said the strength of the relationship had been exaggerated but as
it developed, Sir Peter is understood to have agreed to put his name, and
his employment at TfL, on a guarantor form so Ms Grundy could rent a flat
as she had to move out of her existing one.

But he is not believed to have signed the form after becoming
“uncomfortable� about the situation that he was getting himself into and
realising it was not a “sensible� thing to do. After the relationship
ended, Ms Grundy, who is said to no longer work as a call girl, is believed
to have threatened to go to the newspapers about it.

Another senior TfL official’s name was also on the document as a “work
reference� for Sir Peter, who was knighted in March by Princess Anne for
the Olympic transport success.

Father-of-two Sir Peter, 60, met up with Ms Grundy, according to The Sun,
while his wife Sue was at their home in the West Country. “I didn’t know
who he was at the time, he just seemed like a really lovely guy,� Ms Grundy
told the paper.

“I knew he was involved with London transport but it didn’t really matter.
I only realised he was an important public official with a knighthood about
two months ago.�

A TfL spokesman said: “Sir Peter Hendy has no comment to make on his
private life.� Mayor Boris Johnson also declined to comment.

Sir Peter’s salary last year was £344,000, plus two years’ worth of bonus
of £319,000 for the Olympics and other projects.

Neighbours of Ms Grundy, who lives in a two-storey apartment in Victoria
worth at least £500,000, said she had not been spotted since her claims
over the affair.

Antonio Paparella, who works in a coffee bar two doors away, said: “She is
very friendly and a regular customer but has not been in for a few days. I
never saw her with that man.�

Indeed, and it doesn't sound like he's committed any crime.
