Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with the Mayor of London on proposed costs for upgrades to the Central Line's fleet of trains.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and TfL, and decisions on capital spend and investment are for him to make, including the almost £2.2bn of funding awarded for TfL through the Government’s Spending Review. My Department and I have regular discussions about transport interests in London.
