The working week started with another blow for Londoners struggling with the cost-of living-crisis - the worst Tube and bus ticket increases for 10 years.
Passengers must soon pay between 10 to 30 pence more per journey - an average of almost five per cent - as Transport for London tries to claw back a huge deficit after its finances were “decimated” by Covid.

We’re joined by Emma Gibson, chief executive of London TravelWatch, the capital's transport watchdog.
