Tony Arbour Question to Boris
Will the Mayor support the campaign against South West Trains' plans to close the south entrance to New Malden Station, which would cause enormous inconvenience particularly since all the bus stops are near the south entrance?
The Mayor answered: I am fully suportive of the plight of commuters regarding the closure of the South entrance to New Malden Station. I would be happy to lend my support to the campaign by writing to the Managing Director of South West Trains.
