Commenting on the new Northern Line timetable introduced today by the Labour Mayor of London, Chipping Barnet MP, Theresa Villiers, said:
“The Mayor’s new timetable will mean one in three trains in the evening peak which would normally go to High Barnet will stop and turn back at Finchley Central. First the Labour Mayor cancelled new trains for the Northern Line. Now he is cutting services.”
“This is further evidence that the Labour Mayor doesn’t care about Barnet and is putting the interests of inner London ahead of the suburbs, just like the last time Labour were in charge at City Hall.”
“I oppose these changes which will damage services used by my constituents. There was no public consultation about this timetable change. It was announced by TfL as a fait accompli and not one of my constituents was given the chance to comment on it. This is unfair and I am appealing to the Mayor to restore the services lost to my constituents.”
