at Paisley, the first onto the short
lived in the race for the UK's city | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
of | 0:00:01 | 0:00:02 | |
There's more throughout the evening
on the BBC News Channel. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
And I'll be back with
the late news at Ten. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Now on BBC1, it's time
for the news where you are. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Bye for now. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
Good evening and welcome
to BBC London News. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
I'm Chris Rogers. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
It's hard to believe for most
commuters, but passenger numbers | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
on the capital's transport system
have dropped slightly | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
compared to last year. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
It means less money for Transport
for London and perhaps reduces | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
the case for more investment,
prompting the Government's | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
infrastructure advisor to warn
continued investment is vital. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Our transport correspondent,
Tom Edwards, has more. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
London is still growing. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Why has the number of trips
on public transport dipped? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Could this be one reason? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
More people working from home
or using co-working spaces, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
like here in Brent. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
Suddenly the physical office
is becoming more and more redundant. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Data shows the number of people
working from home is rising. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
If they look specifically
at our demographic, people | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
between the ages of 22 and 35,
the number of freelancers | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
is increasing fairly rapidly. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Rail journeys in London
and the South East have dropped | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
almost 5% this year. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Bus journeys have fallen 6%
over the last three, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
and the Tube has seen trips dip 2%,
or 13 million journeys, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:24 | |
in the last 12 months. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Other causes could be congestion
and lifestyle changes. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Whatever it is, it could
affect TfL's finances. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:35 | |
I'm not sure anybody knows
what the reason behind this fall | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
in transport use is. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
It looks as if it's something to do
with the change in the pattern | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
of how people use their lives. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
The Mayor says his fares freeze has
increased passenger numbers | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
and the Government's infrastructure
adviser says strikes may | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
have played their part. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
We may have had some of the worst
strikes in the history | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
of London commuting. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
That's been so disruptive that
what has happened is it's instilled | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
new patterns of working,
where, in order not to be | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
subject to the chaos
and confusion of Southern Rail, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
people have started working at home
or, for at least two or three | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
days a week or more,
so they've changed | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
their working patterns. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
TfL says it has cut £153 million
from its operating costs this year. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
More cuts loom to
rebalance its finances. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Fewer passengers puts
on more pressure. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:27 | |
Rail passengers travelling
to and from London Euston faced | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
major disruption earlier
as engineers worked | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
to fix damaged wiring. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
National Rail advised
West Coast Main Line users not | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
to travel this morning. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
All lines have now reopened
but some delays are expected | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
until the end of today. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
The Mayor of London has started
a week-long trade tour | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
of India and Pakistan. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
He's hoping to bolster
business for London. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
He also announced that four
promising young footballers | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
from Mumbai will travel
to the capital to train | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
with Queens Park Rangers. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Our political correspondent,
Karl Mercer, has joined | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
the Mayor on his trip and has
sent this report. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
The crowd is for the
guy in the shades. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
But somewhere in there
is London's Mayor. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
At a charity football
tournament today with one | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
of Bollywood's biggest stars. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
How important do you think
it is that the Mayor | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
has shown his support? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
It's huge - not just this
initiative, but for the city | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
of Mumbai, that Mr Sadiq
is here with us. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
I hope this relationship between him
and anyone in Bombay, Mumbai, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
broadens, not just with football
but with other things. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
We're very happy and very pleased
that Mr Sadiq is here with us. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
That is quite unnecessary. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
Not good. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
This tournament is a symbol
of London's links with India, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
backed by Queens Park Rangers,
who will offer two boys and two | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
girls training in London. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Make some noise. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
The banner at the game hammered home
the message for this trip. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:58 | |
London is open. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
London is open. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
What is Hindi for London is open? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
HE SPEAKS HINDI. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
I am the Mayor of London. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
London is open for everyone. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
That's what this visit is about -
to reassure Indians. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Businessmen and women,
potential students, investors, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
people wanting to come for a holiday
that despite Brexit we are still | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
very much open for talent,
for investment and for business. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
His message one of openness
but this is what has | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
accompanied the Mayor all day. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
Security is tight. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
As much as the men might like,
the celebrations behind me | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
at the Gateway of India are not
for Sadiq Khan - | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
they are for India's Navy Day. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
But today did mark the first step
of six cities the Mayor will visit | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
in India and Pakistan over
the next six days. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Tomorrow he is off to Delhi. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:57 | |
Now let's get the weather,
with Sara Thornton. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
It's been a very different in feel
across London today. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Much milder. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
It's been disappointingly cloudy,
captured by our weather | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
watchers, as you can see. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
We've been dry, though,
and mostly dry to start this week. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Milder until Thursday
and then it's all change. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Through this evening and overnight,
the cloud is thinning | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
and breaking a little. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
That will allow the temperatures
to fall away in some rural spots | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
down close enough to freezing
to give us a touch of ground frost. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Also some mist and fog
patches, especially | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
towards the east of London. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
At first they could
be slow to clear. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
There will be a lot of cloud around
at first but then a dry afternoon | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
with sunshine coming through. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Top temperature like today,
up in double figures, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
10, maybe 11 Celsius. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
Watch out for fog first thing
on Tuesday morning, too. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Then a dry day with
quite a bit of cloud. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
It changes on Thursday. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Wet and windy and much
colder for Friday. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
That's it for now, I'll be back
with your evening update | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
during the ten o'clock news tonight. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
Until then, have
a very good evening. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
Goodbye. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 |
