• IF money must be spent on large-scale projects, then why not push on with the Garden Bridge, which would cost £40million if cancelled, according to the Mayor? It will at least green up the centre of London, which is what we desperately need.

Why not have the terminus one or two stops out from Euston if it has to go ahead? Then the massive disruption can be avoided.
