(Picture: PA Wire)Sadiq Khan had to follow his own advice and avoid non-essential travel on Monday morning when he ditched plans to attend the opening of an extension to the London Overground.
The £327 million extension of the Gospel Oak to Barking line opened as planned, with the first trains running along the 2.8-mile track to new station Barking Riverside at about 6am.
