Roger Evans (Conservative member of my Transport Committee at the London Assembly, and the man who leads for me looking after the London Transport Users Committee, LTUC) and I had a meeting with LTUC today.

Unfortunately, they had presented a number of reports to the previous transport committee meeting which had run into a huge amount of flack from members.

This was the ‘sort out the way forward’ meeting. Emotions were running high – but I think we have a way forward. It isn’t a natural place for an independent voice for transport users to be placed by government legislation under the Assembly’s auspices. It is throwing up all sorts of difficulties which need sorting and which have skated along without proper rigour for the three years of the GLA to date.
