Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has accused Sadiq Khan of breaking pre-election rules over the announcement of when the Elizabeth line will open.
Mr Shapps said the London Mayor had displayed “breathtaking political cynicism” and referred him to the Electoral Commission for investigation.
Transport for London, which is chaired by Mr Khan, today revealed that services will begin on the Elizabeth line – formerly known as Crossrail – on Tuesday 24 May.
The announcement came a day before local elections are due to take place in London. Purdah rules restrict what communications can take place in the run-up to the vote.
