Liberal Democrat Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon has called on the mayor to do more about overcrowding on the capital's transport system.

On the day Sadiq Khan confirmed he was freezing fares until 2020 on Transport for London's network, Ms Pidgeon said he could have done more to ease overcrowding.

“Sadiq Khan’s manifesto specifically said that Londoners won’t pay a penny more for their travel in 2020 than they do today.  There were no ifs, or buts, in that statement.”

"However much the Mayor attempts to spin the issue his announcement today confirms that many Londoners will see their travelcards and their PAYG caps on travelcards increase next year.   

 “Instead of boasting about his fare announcement the Mayor should now be concentrating on tackling the chronic problem of overcrowding.  Introducing half price travel for TfL rail journeys that start before 07:30 would help many low paid workers but also play a critical role in reducing overcrowding.”

Night Tube services are beginning on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line.

Transport for London has said said nearly 1.5 million Night Tube journeys have been made on the Central, Victoria and Jubilee lines and it claimed the service is cutting journeys by an average of 20 minutes, with some cut by more than an hour.

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "As a Tooting boy, it gives me particular delight to see the Night Tube start on the Northern line tonight. 

 "Londoners have really taken these new services to their hearts, with nearly 1.5 million journeys made already. 

The Night Tube is helping tens of thousands of passengers get safely to and from work or home from their evenings out every weekend, and it's great news that even more of the capital will be opened up with the addition of the Northern line tonight, and the Piccadilly line next month." 

Night Tube services will begin on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line later.
