City AM reports on Caroline Pidgeon's efforts to challenge the Mayor and TfL on recent issues where transport facilities have been closed down and impeded the public from visiting busy events - particularly the poppy exhibition at the Tower of London, and the England vs Germany women's football at Wembley.
“With close to 50,000 people visiting Wembley to see this international game, it seems TfL opted for a cap on tickets for this women’s international rather than revising their decision to close Wembley Park tube station,” she told City A.M.
Pidgeon also cites closures at Tower Hill station during the poppy exhibition, as an example of TfL’s poor choices over engineering works. “Quite frankly the senior management at TfL took their eye off the ball,” she said.
