(asked on 7th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they (1) have had, or (2) intend to have, with the Mayor of London regarding contributions by the Government to fund the cost of introducing driverless trains in London.
This question was answered on 14th March 2022
The Government’s commitment to supporting London’s transport network is ongoing, and we have provided close to £5 billion of support throughout the pandemic. DfT officials are currently working with TfL to build an evidence-based recommendation on how to progress with driverless trains on the underground. This will inform any future decisions.
