A bit more exciting this one. tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/programmes-and-investment-committee 3rd July 2018 Papers on the following - TfL Growth Fund. Confirms Met Line Extension is dead but we knew that. Outline some small additions to the programme re Walthamstow Central and Colindale extra entrances, Tramlink improvements and extra entrance at Ilford Station. - Update on Crossrail - LUL World Class Capacity Programme (i.e. the scraps after cancelling extra trains for Northern and Jubilee Lines) - LUL Power and Cooling and Energy programme - Silvertown Tunnel update - LUL Stations Renewals programme - Healthy Streets update - 4th Quarter 2017/18 Programmes and Investment Report I confess I have yet to read most of these but there should be plenty for Forum Members to get their teeth into.

Interesting to see the almost throw-away line in the "Silvertown Tunnel" paper that they propose to cover the costs of the new tunnels by applying a charge (Toll) to BOTH the new Silvertown tunnel and the existing Blackwall Tunnel crossing which is currently free to use.

I see that as a ploy to gain the Development Consent Order from the Government, not practical politics when the projects are complete!

Not exactly news given that's been the proposal for a long while. As TfL have no capital monies for the tunnels they have to create a funding stream from charges to pay for it via a PFI scheme. Of course this has been dressed up as being part of controlling the environmental impact of the tunnels. I suspect that charges will actually be variable relative to the level of demand / congestion but I haven't double checked that against the conditions in the Development Consent Order.

I see that as ............. not practical politics when the projects are complete! The two tunnels are so close together that they would have to be both tolled, or neither.
