Vital London transport projects, including a new rail branch deemed vital to the success of HS2, may have to be mothballed due to continued uncertainty over TfL's future funding.
Transport for London (TfL) may be forced to mothball a number of major capital projects for the foreseeable future following the Covid-19 funding crisis, documents released ahead of next week s board meeting indicate.
A report titled
Delivering the Mayor’s Transport Strategy 2020/21 confirms that TfL s next round of major projects will not be able to be delivered at the pace envisaged before the pandemic” with decisions now dependent on long-term government funding.
However, the latest update suggests that other proposed TfL projects such as the West London Orbital (WLO) and a DLR extension could also be mothballed if a longer-term funding deal is not struck with government.
