Disused london tube stations map

Almost 600 Transport for London fat cats earned more than £100,000 last year despite Tube strike misery and a £5billion Covid bailout.

It will heap more pressure on embattled London Mayor Sadiq Khan , who is also after a long-term capital funding deal to upgrade the Tube and bus network. Both Khan and TfL have faced ferocious criticism after Tube workers went on strike four times in the last three months. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said last week that he was 'not persuaded' that TfL's extortionate £401million final salary pension scheme needed to be curtailed The mayor said last week that he was 'not persuaded' that TfL's extortionate £401million final salary pension scheme needed to be curtailed.

With land at a premium and house prices spiralling, not to mention the cost of living crisis, many people are trying to find ways to buy their first home that won't break the bank. To that end, Pocket Living offers affordable homes to first-time buyers at prices at least 20 per cent below market value, but there's a catch. Their recent 'Pocket Homes' build in Croydon has individual flats that measure 38sqm with a width of just 3.5metres - barely any bigger than a Tube train.

TWO Met Police cops have been sacked after posting sick messages about Meghan Markle in a group chat. PC Sukhdev Jeer and PC Paul Hefford, who worked in a unit at Bethnal Green police station in east London , made racist comments on WhatsApp in 2018. Their "abhorrent" actions amount to gross misconduct, a tribunal decided on Friday. Both have now been dismissed from the force. The hearing at the Empress State Building, in west London, heard the posts, including one comparing Meghan to a golliwog toy, were "discriminatory and serious in nature". Former officer Richard Hammond, who was a member of the group at the time, also shared grim comments.

There is no question about the pivotal role of submarine cables in today’s economy, especially with the pandemic-induced dependence on digital services. They are the critical infrastructure for our digitally connected world, carrying over 99 percent of the world’s intercontinental electronic communications traffic. Hence, it isn’t surprising that we are already in the midst of a global cable construction boom that is projected to reach $8 billion by 2024, according to TeleGeography’s 2021 Submarine Cable Map. This extends to the Asia Pacific region as well. Earlier this year, KT Corp. and Savills Korea inked a deal to jointly develop a new submarine cable connecting six countries across Asia Pacific, including South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
