Report on runaway train raises further questions

Caroline Pidgeon, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on Transport for London’s report into the ‘runaway train’ on the London Underground on Friday 13th August said:

“One of the most disturbing findings from this report is that far from this being an isolated incident there have actually been 12 similar cases since 1996.

“It is absolutely vital that the recommendations from this report are implemented as quickly as possible.

“The Mayor of London, who is the Chair of Transport for London, must ensure this happens. Londoners should be given a clear assurance that safety of the tube is paramount.”
