Tube noise, Northern Line near Finchley Central

  • Reference: 2018/2219
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Many residents have complained about the almost continuous (every two or three minutes) extremely loud and prolonged screeching noise coming from the Northern Line near Finchley Central at all hours the tube is operating. The prime source of this noise appears to be the bend in the track north-east of Finchley Central, but also along the tracks that have been replaced, both on the Barnet and Mill Hill East lines. This noise started after the bank holiday engineering works this year, during which Transport for London replaced the track bed with granite ballast, replaced the northbound rails, and installed new...

Falloden Way, A1

  • Reference: 2018/2218
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
There was yet another fatal accident on the A1 at Falloden Way on 9 August 2018. Local residents and I have consistently flagged our concerns about safety all along Falloden Way, from the junction with Brookland Rise to Ossulton Way, but Transport for London refuses to take any action. Will you ask them to look at safety here, and now come up with a set of proposals to make the road safe for all road and pavement users?

Tube noise Mornington Crescent

  • Reference: 2018/2217
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Residents who live near Mornington Crescent tube station are still suffering tube generated noise pollution many months after first complaining of it, and despite remedial works; what will Transport for London do, and when, to eliminate this noise, apparently from the Northern Line Charing Cross branch?

Change of rules governing the Central London Congestion Zone

  • Reference: 2018/2216
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
A constituent has written to me, who bought a Toyota Yaris Hybrid which, with 75mg or less of CO2 emissions, currently qualifies for a 100% exemption from the congestion charge. However, as it is not wholly electric and therefore cannot run for 20 minutes without emissions, under the proposed new rules, it will no longer be exempt after the proposed start date of the new rules in April 2019. He does not have the option to buy a 100% electric car, as he lives in the heart of Hampstead without off-street parking, and there is no provision for charging points...

Barking to Gospel Oak Line

  • Reference: 2018/2215
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Further to your answer to Question No: 2018/1860, I understand that you are mistaken in much of your reply. There have been no additional trains operating "temporarily" on the Barking to Gospel Oak line. The five trains in question (PIXC-busters) have operated since 2013 and until 19 May this year appeared in the published timetable. When these trains did not appear in the 20 May summer 2018 timetable, the Director of Rail gave an assurance that the trains would continue to run until the electric trains arrived in public service. However, these trains ceased to run after 29 June. This...

20MPH speed limits

  • Reference: 2018/2214
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
The move towards 20MPH speed limits on Transport for London (TfL) road is welcome; what resources will be available to enforce the lower limits on TfL roads and what resources are available to enforce speed limits in the boroughs who have also introduced 20 MPH limits?

240 Bus

  • Reference: 2018/2213
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Metroline (with the permission of Transport for London) has reduced the service of the 240 bus from high-frequency - about every 7 minutes to low-frequency - to about every 14 minutes. As this bus service was a key factor in your approval of the planning application for the former NIMR building Mill Hill, being the only public transport link in an area that is categorised as having the lowest PTAL rating, will you arrange for the high frequency service to be restored?
