CONTINUING cash cuts .means a "disturbing" future for public transport in London, says London Transport in its annual report.
LT warns: "If the Government insists on further cuts in financial support as is threatened, it will be difficult if not impossible to maintain the system and effect the essential renewal of worn-out equipment."
During 1976 LT was forced to postpone maintenance and it says that it hopes to catch up this year.
On the Government's soon-to-be-announced transport policy LT comment: "Any policy which restricts the efficiency of public transport in London and raises fares beyond an acceptable level would drive away longer-distance passengers who help to make up the capital's workforce."
