Rail unions slam TfL funding extension by 10 days
RAIL unions slammed the government today after it extended its short-term funding for Transport for London (TfL) by just 10 days.
The bailout to ensure public transport in the capital continues until May 28 comes after passenger numbers fell during the coronavirus pandemic, leaving TfL struggling financially.
TfL and the Department for Transport (DfT) are currently negotiating a longer deal.
