Commenting on the decision by Transport for London to cancel the planned early evening closures on the Northern Line, London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon, the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Transport said:
"I welcome the fact that TfL have cancelled these early evening closures. I have spoken to many small businesses and local residents and know what problems these closures would have caused.
"I hope that London Underground will now look seriously at minimising the number of closures on the Northern Line at a time when businesses are fighting to survive in this difficult economic climate."
