Delighted that @TfL are launching this landmark pilot to explore how cleaning services could be brought in-house and delivered by a directly-employed workforce. 🚇🧼 nitter.cf/MayorofLondon/status/2…
A new comprehensive pilot exploring how @TfL can deliver cleaning services in-house will begin this week. I’ve long championed insourcing where possible, and that of course includes our hard working and essential cleaning staff. I’m pleased that TfL is taking this important step both for customers and for the dedicated cleaning colleagues who help keep London moving. I want to thank the RMT for their work and invaluable input. railnews.co.uk/news/2026/09/…

More homes. More jobs. Better connections. The West London Orbital has the potential to transform travel across west London while helping tackle congestion and improve air quality. 👇
From Hounslow to Hendon, without the detour. The proposed West London Orbital would create a new passenger rail link, unlock 25,000+ homes, support thousands of jobs, improve air quality and help cut congestion. Have your say in our public consultation now: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/west-…

🥳 Happy 10th Birthday to the Hopper Fare! 🥳 Since the Hopper Fare launched on 12 September 2016, more than 1.43 billion ‘hops’ have taken place across on London’s buses, helping to build a better, greener and fairer London for everyone.

Anyone who witnessed the terrible events of 9/11 unfold 25 years ago will never forget them. Time has not faded our memory of the thousands of innocent people who were killed in the most appalling acts of terrorism - including 67 Britons, many of whom were from London. Today London stands with the people of New York City. Those who sought to destroy our way of life have not won, and never will.

I'm delighted that every bus cab will get air conditioning, helping support the hard-working drivers who are at the heart of our transport network, day in and day out. A real step forward for those who serve London every day. 🚍☀️
NEW: Very pleased that TfL have reached a ground-breaking agreement with @unitetheunion to provide air conditioning in every bus cab in London. This is personal to me. I know that London’s hard-working bus drivers play a vital role. Thank you for keeping London moving during this unprecedented summer.

60 years of Notting Hill Carnival - now one of the world’s greatest celebrations of Caribbean culture, community & London. It's founders understood the power of culture to challenge racism, build understanding & turn strangers into neighbours. We need that now as much as ever.

ICYMI - @QMUL published a landmark report providing yet more compelling evidence that the ULEZ has been a huge success. Findings show @SadiqKhan was right to act to ensure all Londoners benefit from cleaner air. It's never too late to act against the effects of air pollution.
Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Read more: shorturl.at/Jx86o

10 years ago, the Night Tube changed London. Since then, more than 67 million journeys have helped get people to work, enjoy our world-class nightlife, and get home safely. A huge success story for London, our economy, and safer, greener travel. 🚆🌛
A decade ago, the Night Tube changed Londoners’ nights out forever. Londoners said goodbye to running for the last train on weekend nights and hello to a new era of a 24-hour city.

Tonight London stood with Berlin. Thousands gathered in Soho Square to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community in London and around the world. Extremists seek to divide us, but they will not succeed. Love will always be stronger than hate. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Horrified by the appalling attack in Berlin. My thoughts are with all those affected, and the entire LGBT+ community. The values of openness, tolerance and freedom are what unite us. I have spoken to @AussenMinDE to convey the UK's solidarity: we stand with Germany.
