PSA target 4: Cut journey times on London Underground services by increasing capacity and reducing delays.

PSA target 5: Reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured in Great Britain in road accidents by 40 per cent, and the number of children killed or seriously injured by 50 per cent by 2010 compared with the average for 1994-98, tackling the significantly higher incidence in disadvantaged communities.
