£18m cost of buses during tube and rail closures

The Evening Standard reports that Transport for London has spend £18 million over the last year in providing replacement buses during Tube, DLR and Overground closures due to engineering work.

Caroline Pidgeon told the Evening Standard:

The bill for replacement Tube services has soared due to the immense delays in upgrading the Jubilee line. Such huge expenditure is just one further reason why a new approach to Tube upgrades is so necessary.
