London TravelWatch has commented on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Arbiter’s final decision on Tube Lines’ costs.

London TravelWatch said: “This decision means that there is still a large funding gap for the essential upgrade work on the underground. It is vital for passengers that a resolution between Tube Lines and London Underground is found, and that we do not return to 'stop-start’ funding on the underground. It is equally vital that the upgrade work is not reduced or cancelled.”
