The Evening Standard reports a Westminster Hall debate on the West London Orbital, where a transport minister said the Mayor would get the powers to build it. The headline states as fact that trains will run on the new route by the mid 2030s. The body says only that trains could be running by then, according to the minister, and that the scheme has not yet reached the funding stage.
