Unlike Sadiq Khan, Southern isn’t contributing to Go-Ahead’s “soaring profits”
With Chris Gralying’s slap down still smarting, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has attempted to relaunch his attack on Southern Trains by seizing on the profits announced by part-owners the Go-Ahead Group.
Why didn’t Sadiq take up TfL’s offer to freeze the cost of Travelcards? Will he ever publish TfL’s fares advice?
