Transport for London

It allows for more pedestrians to just spread out, allows for more opportunities for businesses to have people, and ultimately, yeah, I think that it's going to be a really good thing for the City of London.

Well, Transport for London has been working for a long time on the project to regenerate Oxford Street alongside the Oxford Street Development Corporation.

And Nabil Khan is chief executive there.

Morning.

Yeah, so look, we've been consulting on this for over a year now.

There's been a lot of modelling that's been done by Transport for London, who are the highway authority, I should say, for Oxford Street now.

But also they've got vast experience in developing transport proposals.

So the modelling that we've done We are proposing now an alternative route for buses, so the buses will be diverted down through Wigmore Street, which is a couple of roads to the northern side of Oxford Street.

It's criminal.

But Barnet, train station, TFL, how did you wipe your bum? Because I know there's not Andrex

there.

Oh, Louis.

There's three trains, including the new Elizabeth line, which has transformed London.

So that is all done under the auspices of TFL, Transport for London, one entity, which, by the way, Andy Byford was the guy who was the closer on the Elizabeth line.

This guy knows how to get stuff done.

And if you haven't been to London, it's incredibly important to go there and ride the Elizabeth Line because take issues like affordable housing.

That was the famous kind of issue between him and Hamilton.

And what that has resulted in is this extraordinarily complex network of jurisdictions.

We don't have a transport for London.

We have the MTA and we have the Port Authority and we have New Jersey Transit.

And the tube challenge is just a very Ruby kind of challenge.

She loved, she was a Londoner, born and bred, loved the underground, harbored a bit of a dream of maybe once if a transport for London one day.

And so she would just think this challenge was hilarious and big.

So it's just a lovely

And I'm so glad as well that you guys just know where all the toilets are.

That's always

people's first concern is, but what about the toilets? Actually, it says that the Transport for London organised a very lovely A3 map.

If anybody needs it, if any of your listeners ever worry about finding a toilet on the underground, you can call Transport for London and they will post to you an A3 map that shows all the toilets marked.

People were trolling people.

Like there were people that were there crying on TFL, talking that, oh, that they would never, you know, come out late for a concert.

There was one woman like this that she was literally crying on the bus because I think she left it rather close to the time of the concert.

So she now got onto the bus.

Jessie.

But Leigh-Anne and Jade, they were, you know,

maybe that's why but nah that's not what I aspire for that's my own my own take away from all of this that's not what I aspire for because me I'm walking to the point where I cannot get off the train guys that is my goal I'm telling you that is my goal I don't want to be able to sit down on TFL Honestly, it should be a safety hazard for Clinton to be out in the public.

That is my goal, honestly.

And they don't make any claim as to why those are different.

Transport for London charges £480 for a one-year licence.

And this, as you can tell, this differs across the country.

All of them require public liability insurance of £10 million, but the licence fee associated differs wildly.
