Caroline Pidgeon, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, commenting on the final ruling on the cost of the second phase of Tube Lines contract upgrading the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, said:
“This announcement signals the need for a complete review of how the tube is upgraded.
“A serious look is needed into short block closures of a few stations, where the upgrade work is completed over a few weeks.”
”Passengers and local traders ultimately will suffer if London Underground and Tube Lines don’t get their heads together and ensure our tube is modernised as quickly and painlessly as possible."
