00:00I'm really excited about 2025. We have a new government elected just five months ago.
00:06From the experience I've had over the last five months, this is a government that wants to work
00:09with us. No member of this government has criticised London, has slagged off our city,
00:14has talked down our city. And just in the first five months we've had announcements that support
00:19High Speed 2 coming to Euston. What's the new government done just in the first five months?
00:25Almost doubled the amount of capital money we received for TfL last year with the previous
00:30government. It was £250 million this year. It will be approaching £500 million. That's just
00:36for one year, but the price on top of that is a multi-year long-term deal for TfL, really important.
