Asked by:
Lilian Greenwood (Labour)

A map of the land to be sold in the vicinity of Kings Cross station is attached. The £200 million of other savings to be made in 2015-16 are as follows:

£124 million from reduced contingency;

£31 million reduction in grant to Transport for London;

£23 million from Cycling Cities Ambition budget;

£16 million from Regional Air Connectivity fund;

£5 million from the Stations Commercial Projects Facility;

£1 million from Sheffield Tram-Train project.

The return of expected 2015-16 underspends on these projects does not mean that they have been cancelled.
