Tube Passengers must not pay the penalty for PPP failure

Passengers should not pay the penalty for the Labour Government’s and the Mayor of London’s tube refurbishment disaster.

Metronet, the company who were refurbishing most of London's Underground Network under Gordon Brown’s Public Private Partnership (PPP), has gone bust. Transport for London is having to pour in hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money to enable urgent work on the tube to continue.

Don't let the PPP (Public Private Partnership) become Passengers Pay the Penalty.

Please sign the petition for presentation by Geoff Pope, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Transport Spokesman, to the Mayor of London.
 

To the Mayor of London:

  • Following the disaster of Gordon Brown's PPP on the tube where Metronet failed and London Underground were unable to manage contracts on time and on budget, we hereby call on the Mayor to set up sustainable business and financial arrangements so that Londoners will not pay any additional penalty for PPP failures.
  • In addition, essential capacity upgrades, modernisation of the tube network and new passenger lifts for step free access must be introduced no later than as set out in the original timetables.
  • Furthermore, on no account should staff levels at tube stations be reduced. Underground staff must be available to help passengers during all operational hours
