Deadline approaches for Mayor to spell out terms of TfL funding deal

The Mayor of London is considering a long-term funding offer to Transport for London from the government, and although no details have been released, it is reported to be worth around ?3.6 billion. An early decision is crucial because the latest in a series of short-term settlements to keep TfL going will expire in two days from now, while the RMT is urgently demanding details if a forthcoming strike is to be averted.
