Peter, all I want to hear is that you want this tram as much as I do. I think that is what I want to hear.

I think that what you could do, Peter, is commit to action. There is no letter, no statement of apology to users. I use this station regularly and where you are providing stair access for the majority of people who can use them, then I think that what people with any sort of disability deserve is a huge apology and a notice saying that.

That implies reducing the private vehicle capacity of the bridge, does it not?

Thank you very much indeed. Yes, Peter; perhaps I did ask you to gaze into a crystal ball with that question. You rightly tapped into my main obsession here, which is making sure that there are significant developments in the commuter passenger infrastructure in south London and that these are pushed in the CSR 2010.

We certainly have not received an update recently and I wonder if you could arrange for that to be done so that we can be clear about not the rationale, but the key factors that...

There is not enough time to argue about the figures we have. Perhaps we could deal with that off-line. Could you just tell me, would you encourage and support South West Trains to look at rezoning Kingston and Surbiton from zone 6 to zone 5?

Presumably this is also causing bus journeys to take longer in central London?

• Question by: Graham Tope
• Meeting date: 05 December 2007

Would re-phasing of traffic lights help at all with this problem?

• Question by: Graham Tope
• Meeting date: 05 December 2007

Has TfL actually done any specific work on measuring traffic speeds in the major thoroughfares and if they have, what does this demonstrate?

• Question by: Graham Tope

Are you getting a positive response from London councils?
