The Mayor’s Outer London Commission Final Report

Other recommendations supported
by the OLC: Transport
Broad Conclusions - OLC is charged with producing
realistic recommendations
•Recognise TfL cannot make investment decisions
without a strong business case – this has been a key OLC consideration
•The scale, massing, distribution and nature of outer London are critical to this
•The reality is that TfL and national transport budgets will be limited
•Investment in transport should be considered across the city region
•Outer London specific investments should not be neglected, recognising that it also it also benefits from
pan London radial transport improvements
•The Commission support the approach set out in the MTS Statement of Intent for a more transparent,
outcome focused method of assessing investment options for both TfL and the boroughs
•A high-speed contiguous orbital public transport system is unlikely to address outer London needs
•The ‘star and cluster’ concept offers a more effective and practical model to meet the constellation of
business locations outlined above
