The @LondonAssembly Budget and Performance Committee reports @TfL passengers lose over 800,000 hours a week due to deteriorating assets, and a Β£6.5bn renewals backlog 😱 πŸ’·

That's missed connections, late arrivals and added stress for people just trying to go about their day

Issues with TfL track and assets are leading to 800,000 lost customer hours each week. Today, #AssemblyBudget has written to the Mayor, calling on TfL to publish a clear strategy for preventing further growth in the capital renewals backlog: https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/london-assembly-press-releases/deteriorating-tfl-network-leading-increased-delays-passengers

We were at Oxford Street today, one week out from it being pedestrianised 🚢

We were disappointed by how little information there was. Nothing in Bond Street or Oxford Circus stations, and very little at bus stops

Passengers deserve more than this. @TfL do better #OxfordStreet
