Caroline spoke at a fringe meeting at Lib Dem Conference in Liverpool hosted by Transport for London.
Caroline highlighted the unique challenges in the capital with a growing population and ageing infrastructure and the need for the investment through Crossrail and the tube upgrades to keep London moving.
Caroline also expressed concern about accessibility improvements being cancelled due to budgetary constraints. TfL spent £20 million on Step-free access projects at Amersham, Greenford, Ladbroke Grove, Newbury Park, Osterley and West Kensington stations. These have now been halted before the work has been completed.
Caroline welcomed the new Cycle Hire Scheme in London but did remind the audience that it was Lynne Featherstone MP who first suggested such a scheme for London way back in 2001!
Caroline also highlighted the need for TfL to tighten their belts and to stop wasting money such as £30,000 on 778 packs of business cards last financial year and the ridiculous case recently where TfL ripped out perfectly good seating at Bermondsey Tube Station for no apparent reason at a cost of over £20,000 to the taxpayer.
