With traffic on December 7 amounting to a new daily record of an estimated 4-17 million passenger-journeys, LU expects that the total for 2007 will be close to 1-1 billion. 'Every day the London Underground carries more passengers than the entire national rail network,' said Mayor of London Ken Livingstone, who stressed 'the importance of sustaining investment to expand and renew the system.' Freightliner Ltd and Freightliner Heavy Haul have signed new track access agreements with Network Rail running until December 2016. According to the freight operator, they are the longest such agreements ever held by Freightliner, giving 'our business and our customers security of access to the network going forward and confidence to make investments in rail freight'.
