  1. Absolutely fantastic news that Boris has saved another piece of our heritage that is the Tube map. Well done. Unlike the previous mayor Boris knows that tradition and history are important to Londoners and must be saved at all cost

  2. This is all Ken Livingstone's fault with his preposterous anti-car propaganda which has resulted in too many people using the Tube so now it is falling apart and dangerous to use. If people are unhappy having to pay more for public transport under Boris, work a bit harder so you can afford a car

  10. This is an excellent move by Boris keeping pressure on these companies that are making a horrendous profit at the expense of everyday Londoners. Of course if Ken was still in charge he would have simply rolled over and let them take as long as they wanted, no doubt bailing them out with hard-earned taxp...
