Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has claimed bus services could be cut by a fifth without government moneyThe current financial deal was due to run out on 11 December, but negotiations have been given a short grace period.
TfL is facing a £1.9 billion budget black hole and has warned of massive cuts to bus, Tube and road services. Unions have warned public transport across the capital will grind to a halt without a long-term financial plan.TfL said it had reduced annual running costs by more than £1bn in the last five years
BBC London's Transport & Environment Correspondent Tom Edwards said a government spokesperson reported "encouraging" progress had been made in the talks, which is why the extension to 17 December had been granted. However, they said more detail was needed on proposals from the London mayor on revenue-raising, modifying the fares structure, road charging and council tax.
Why is the rest of the UK funding TfL? No other city gets this sort of funding
and they wonder why people up north complain that leveling up is anything but!!

Six by Nico, London W1: ‘It feels a bit like a neglected All Bar One’ – restaurant review‘If this is the future of hospitality, I’m going to retrain as a plumber’ She has clearly missed the point. Nico brings fine dining at low prices so anyone can enjoy it. AND to criticise Masterchef, which basically pays her wages… stuck up cow. Literally a pretentious London media-type sticking their nose up at a fantastic, tasty, fun and affordable approach to a tasting menu. I eat regularly at the Edinburgh branch and also at Canary Wharf and I'd say please ignore this review, eat and enjoy. sixbynico
