The impact of the elections: transport schemes scuppered or for take off?

Decisions over local transport across the UK will be affected by Thursday night's elections., with transport schemes potentially scuppered and new projects proposed.

In London and Bristol new Labour mayors will usher in new transport policies. In London, Sadiq Khan wants to pedestrianise Oxford Street and seek to freeze transport fares for four years in a move his Conservative opponent said would leave a £1.9bn blackhole in the transport budget. While Marvin Rees in Bristol said he would halt the expansion of residents parking zones, review 20mph limits and pilot a low emission zone.

In Milton Keynes, with the Conservatives and Labour tied disagreement between the two biggest parties over whether to build "at least one multi-storey car park" and reduce premium rate parking tariffs as the Conservatives want will need to be resolved in talks with the Liberal Democrats, which gained seats. In Stockport Labour became the the largest largest party after pledging new bus fare discounts and a feasibility study to bring the Metrolink to Stockport.

In Wales, Labour as a miniority Government will need to work with other parties and said it would talk with Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats. But both those two parties, and UKIP, newly elected to the Welsh Assembly, oppose the 'black route' of the M4 relief road that Labour has been promoting. Labour would need to seek the support of the Conservatives. Plaid also vowed to end tolling on the Severn Crossing.

In Scotland, the SNP lost its majority and will also rely on the support of other parties, which may make its plan to cut air passenger duty difficult, since all four opposition parties oppose it. If the SNP seeks the support of the Green Party, it would need to act on the pledge of the other pro-independence party to increase the amount spent on active travel from the current 2% of the transport budget.
