TfL’s recent consultation on shaping the future of step-free access which commenced on 2 November 2021 does not set out details of the number of further step free access schemes that are planned. Do you accept that any consultation should be explicit over TfL’s budget and future plans for increasing the number of step free access schemes and addressing whether or not you plan to meet the commitment in your Transport Strategy to ensure 40% of the Tube network is step free by 2022?

I have been contacted by a constituent who raises the issue of inconsistencies in fares. As an example he quotes that a journey from Parsons Green to Shepherd Bush via West Brompton entirely in Zone 2 at peak is £1.70 and off peak is £1.50. In contrast the journey from Parsons Green to Willesden Junction via West Brompton entirely in Zone 2 has a peak fare of £3.00 and off peak £2.50. What steps is TfL taking to address these anomalies?

Under the Silvertown Tunnel’s Development Order Charging Policy and the User Charging Assessment Framework the toll levels will be set at the discretion of any future Mayor of London. TfL modelling has shown that without tolls traffic would increase up to 30%, but no modelling was undertaken by TfL on air pollution with the scheme if no tolls were place. What assurances can you provide local residents that increases in traffic and air pollution will not increase given the lack of certainty of how tolls will operate in the years ahead?
