Michael - I'd be keen to hear further details of your claim that our council are actually supporting the cuts to our local rail services whilst we are busy campaigning against those same cuts! Seems an unlikely state of affairs, so please - give us some proof.

One another issue - One of the arguments put by the rail authorities in justifying cuts in LB services is that the ELL is going to "take the strain" - that people currently using mainline services to and from London Bridge will move to the ELL. A vital part of that argument was that the current Jubilee Line upgrade to accommodate one third more passengers would be completed long before the ELL opens.

Tonight's news, that the upgrade to the Jubilee Line will now now be completed until next autumn puts a complete spoke in that argument.
