Central Line: Rolling Stock

Asked by Dr Neil HudsonConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 19 June 2025UIN 60207

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with the Mayor of London on proposed costs for upgrades to the Central Line's fleet of trains.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and TfL, and decisions on capital spend and investment are for him to make, including the almost £2.2bn of funding awarded for TfL through the Government’s Spending Review. My Department and I have regular discussions about transport interests in London.
