From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Planned early closures of weekday evening services on a busy Tube line this summer have been cancelled, Transport for London (TfL) said today.
The decision, affecting the Northern line, follows TfL's acquisition of Underground maintenance company Tube Lines, which was upgrading and repairing the Northern, Jubilee and Piccadilly lines.
The priority was now to agree a Northern line plan "that gets the job done to a timetable that suits Londoners, and with the minimum disruption to our customers and businesses", said London Underground managing director Mike Brown.
Business organisation London First said it welcomed the fact that Underground management would consult with businesses on Tube closures.
