Seb attending a BTP briefing for officers

A really interesting afternoon spent at British Transport Police offices in Victoria. We spoke about issues facing London’s transport network including sexual offences and the recent rise in graffiti. We will keep working together to build a better, safer London for everyone.

A Superloop bus, SL4, prepares to enter the new Silvertown Tunnel

It’s official: the Silvertown Tunnel is proving a big win for London.

Public transport use has more than doubled!

A new report from TfL demonstrates that the tunnel is achieving its key aims of easing congestion, increasing public transport use and improving journeys for all bit.ly/4kUhdHw

Great news for Tube travellers - more of the Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage - keeping Londoners connected underground. 📶

From Euston to Bank, Balham to South Wimbledon, the rollout continues!

Mayor Chow presents Seb with a book about the history of cycling in Toronto

A real honour to meet @mayoroliviachow.ca of Toronto 🇨🇦 today for a highly productive discussion on shared challenges and opportunities for our cities: building high-quality housing, tackling congestion, promoting active travel and much more.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Incredible turnout and atmosphere in Budapest as huge crowds march in defiance of Viktor Orbán.

Mayor Karácsony has shown tremendous leadership, and the organisers huge courage.

It was an honour to march in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQI+ community.

I’m in Hungary with representatives from cities, parliaments and the EU to represent the Mayor of @london.gov.uk at Budapest Pride.

Viktor Orbán’s govt tried to ban the march but it will go ahead thanks to Mayor Gergely Karácsony.

We stand in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQ+ community.

These people are heroes

Great to be in Barnet today on our Big Community Transport Tour.
🚌 Rode the SL10 Superloop express service
🤝 Met with councillors and local community
🚉 Saw progress on step-free access at Colindale Station

Encouraging @TfL data shows road casualties are at their lowest levels outside of the pandemic. Just one death or serious injury is one too many, and we are committed to eliminating them from our roads by 2041, as part of the Mayor’s Vision Zero Strategy. tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/road-ca...

Seb stands with Heidi Alexander MP, now Secretary of State for Transport, in front of a giant Elizabeth line roundel

🎂 Happy 3rd birthday to the Elizabeth Line!

At over 500m journeys so far, it’s already the UK's most popular railway. 🚆

It's proof of the value to the UK of investing in London, to create new economic growth with thousands of new jobs and homes along its route and beyond.

But cities of all sizes, including London, face similar barriers to modal shift.

We can learn a great deal from our partners in Europe, from metroisation of urban rail to grid capacity upgrades.

Hugely grateful for fascinating discussions and the opportunity to strengthen ties.

London came up repeatedly as an exemplar: from the Superloop, to the Elizabeth Line, to our brand-new zero-emission buses, to our successes on active travel.

Under @london.gov.uk leadership, London is leading the way.

🇮🇹 Honoured to have recently attended the POLIS Network Leadership Summit in Rome to discuss the future of urban mobility and engage with cities facing similar challenges.

The 108 bus at Blackheath

Very encouraging data which shows the positive impact the new Silvertown Tunnel is having in east and southeast London. The route 108 which travels through the Blackwall Tunnel has seen a significant increase in reliability since the Silvertown Tunnel opened 🎉

UK-EU youth mobility scheme is essential to reverse Brexit damage and rocket launch the economy, writes Sir Sadiq Khan A new UK-EU youth mobility scheme is vital to building a more dynamic, successful and prosperous London for everyone.

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost growth not only in London, but across Britain and Europe.

Amid global uncertainty, closer EU ties are a win-win for our future prosperity.
