something we re really planning for now and taking account of so we are ready as the climate becomes more extreme in future. there were some significant flash flooding in london in the summer. of course we saw those horrific scenes in the metro system in china. how much has this been an alarm call for tfl? we looked with real serious concern at what happened, notjust in china, but also closer to home in countries like germany, where we saw really extreme flooding. and i think that is a real wake up call. we know we can have extreme rain of the kind we had in germany here in london now. we do need to make sure our assets, our transport system, but all of london s infrastructure is ready to cope. in terms of infrastructure, though, everything is so built up, both above and underground, close to the tfl system. you must be limited to what you can do. there are real constraints in london. so much of the land is paved and we are losing more land to paving as people pave over their front dri
