Shepherd's Bush blogger Chris Underwood reports on Caroline Pidgeon's questioning of the Mayor, which revealed that £927,000 has been spent so far in 2010 on replacement buses to cover the closure of the Central and Hammersmith & City Lines.
Chris also points out Caroline's work in revealing the Mayor's waste of £39m on a feasibility study for a lift in the new Shepherd's Bush station:
It should be remembered that this is the same Mayor who presided over £39million being wasted in work to install a lift in the new Shepherd's Bush station so that disabled people could use it. Transport for London had promised that this would be built when they closed the old central station and made us all walk to White City for months on end. They quietly dropped the pledge. £39 million in the pockets of consultants asked to look at the feasibility of building one later, they arrived at their conclusion, which was "nah." And credit to Caroline Pidgeon for forcing the Mayor to tell us about that as well - he originally tried to ignore her questioning on it.
