Poor Boris Johnson. The one person further to the left than Ken Livingstone ... and poor London's stuck with him.
What's the duffer gone and done now? Only cancelled nearly 3bn quid's worth of tramway development in London. What is he thinking of? And to replace these superb schemes - more buses (LOL!) and more provision for walking and cycling (cheap).
It's simple. A city isn't a city without trams. It's a joke. The problem was the plans just scrapped by Boris were nowhere near ambitious enough. London doesn't need a few km of tramways here and there, but a huge network reaching every corner of the city, plus extensions into commuterland, to totally replace the road network. Perhaps backwards-looking Boris simply doesn't get it.
London WILL get its trams, or die. It's just going to take a few more years than expected.
Bye bye Boris. You were fun for a week or two ...
