Sadiq Khan has appointed several new board members to the Transport for London (TfL) board, which he chairs. These are not the kind of people who are likely to tackle the financial problems of TfL or stop the gesture politics that is so favoured by Khan.

Where are the candidates with experience of running a large transport system? Where are the representatives of those using private cars, or commercial vehicles on business, or even bus users? But of course we do have a representative of the TUC to support the workers.

These are just likely to be a bunch of people who will approve the financial recklessness embodied in the Mayor’s Transport Policy and which has not improved road safety because misguided policies such as 20 mph speed limits are promoted.
