Central Line meltdown: Commuters face years of chaos as whistleblowers give inside track on clapped-out trains
Tube insiders on Wednesday raised alarming new concerns about the state of the Central line — and warned that passengers faced years of chaos due to “inexcusable” delays in upgrading the clapped-out trains.
Whistle-blowers contacted the Evening Standard to reveal a multitude of “foreseeable” problems on the line caused by years of under-investment.
On Wednesday afternoon, after reading the Standard’s revelations, Mayor Sadiq Khan thanked the employees for coming forward and said he had spoken with Transport for London commissioner Andy Lord.
Mr Khan said: “It’s not right that they need to go to a journalist to report concerns. We have got to create an environment where nobody needs to do that.
“I have spoken to the commissioner today. He has reassured me that that environment does exist.”
