The Run Some organisation has so-called ‘running mayors’, including one for Ealing. While they welcomed your announcement of The Sustainable Transport, Walking and Cycling London Plan Guidance as part of the greener future for London plans, they were disappointed not to see the inclusion of running in the plans. Would you consider including running in future Active Travel communications alongside cycling and walking?

Constituents have asked me about train frequency at West Ruislip. This is impacted by the need for Government funding for the new Central line trains, so that they can be built and enter service as quickly as possible. The extra 25 trains in the fleet would allow more services to West Ruislip, without there being a detrimental effect on the rest of the network. How important are these new trains to improving services on the Central line?

I understand from TfL that some Reading/Maidenhead services are operating Reduced Length Units rather than Full Length Units. This means that select western services will be operated with seven car trains that will not fill the full platform at some stations, including West Drayton. Can you tell me how long it will be before these select Western services will once again have trains that are Full Length Units?

A young constituent asked me why you are raising council tax to fund TfL, when she is experiencing financial hardship as a hospitality worker during the pandemic. How can you explain to Londoners that this is something you are being forced into doing, because of Government’s failure to properly support London’s transport network?
