Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on today's apology by London Underground for the years of suffering faced by passengers on the Jubilee Line and the announcement that there will still be 15 weekends of full or partial closures before Christmas said:
This is grim news for all the Jubilee Line passengers who have suffered so much disruption over months and years. There is no light at the end of the tunnel just more and more closures.
"The upgrade of the Jubilee Line is demonstrating exactly how not to upgrade the tube. There is now overwhelming evidence that blockades of short sections of the tube for two or three weeks would be a far better way to upgrade the tube than the fiasco of literally years and years of weekend closures."
