| 0:00.0 | At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads. |
| 0:07.4 | That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour, |
| 0:12.3 | because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or |
| 0:16.8 | serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone. |
| 0:24.8 | Such TFL improvement plan to the Mayor of London and TFL every journey matters. |
| 0:35.0 | This is CBS. I am the world. I'm John Bachel from the surface of the planet earth we're going |
| 0:40.5 | in time to 1968. Apollo 8, circling the moon, and coming up in a moment at Christmas time when |
