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. There has been concern in the minds of the public in my area that the focus on Crossrail ' and I very strongly support Crossrail as a strategic, economic project for London ' has meant that there is anxiety that some of the schemes you...

Thank you for that, Peter. A couple of things: there is mischief afoot, because it has been said that safety is not one of the criteria used by TfL when looking around reconfiguring a gyratory. From what you are saying, which I thank you for, that is mischief. The other thing, of course, is that you attached a project manager to the Stoke Newington gyratory. 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?

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?

Are you getting a positive response from London councils?

• Question by: Mike Tuffrey
• Meeting date: 05 December 2007

In relation to the re-tendering of the Southern Railways contract, nobody is saying that that will be handed over to TfL in the way that what you are now calling the Overground was, but, as I understand it, again, there are warm words that the Mayor and TfL are being consulted and so forth. Can you, again, be more precise about TfL's involvement in that re-tendering?

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 05 December 2007

My office has been in discussion with South West Trains and they would be perfectly happy for ' clearly because it is extra custom ' their tracks to be used. Has there been discussion over dual use of tracks for any further extension of the line really anywhere in London, not just in this particular patch?
