A new investigation will set out to capture the passenger experience on the Tube network, looking in detail at the impact of overcrowded trains and weekend closures on Londoners’ journeys.

The London Assembly Transport Committee investigation – which kicks off with a public meeting - will look at how well Transport for London (TfL) is managing both overcrowding and the upgrade programme on the Underground.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has announced that Visitor Oyster will be sold onboard all easyJet flights to London Luton, Gatwick and Stansted.

The deal, between Transport for London and easyJet, the UK’s largest airline, is the first of its kind and will enable air passengers to purchase Oyster cards whilst in the air.  Visitor Oyster cards enable passengers to quickly and easily access the Tube, London Buses, the DLR and other TfL services the moment they arrive in the Capital.  The deal with easyJet marks the biggest expansion of the Visitor Oyster network to-date and will open up Visitor Oyster to the thousands of passengers who travel on easyJet flights to London each day.
