“But the raw material that the Underground had to work⟳ on - Londoners themselves - was possibly not of the best. In 1905 Charles Yerkes had said: Londoners are the worst people to get⟳ a move⟳ on I ever knew. To see⟳ them board⟳ and get⟳ off a train⟳ one thinks they had a thousand years to do it in; still they are getting better, and in the end⟳ I shall work⟳ them down to an allowance of thirty seconds.”

“Khan countered this by alleging that 'unfair' conditions, such as raising council tax, are being attached to any new funding deal⟳ that would "punish⟳ Londoners" for the effect the pandemic has had on passenger numbers. He added: "These short-term deals are trapping TfL on life support⟳ rather than putting it on the path to long-term sustainability."”
