I continue to receive complaints about the poor performance of bus route 13 which has been problematic since the buses were reorganised and cut around this route a year ago. In the lengthy so called "2016 consultation" there does not seem to be any mention about 13's "stopping short", which is now affecting passengers travelling to the north end of the route in particular; 13s now seem to be stopping at Church End leaving many passengers dumped at Church End. When will Transport for London get a grip on this woefully underperforming route?

Are you aware of the considerable dissatisfaction of commuters over the introduction of the new Thameslink timetable, resulting in more delays and cancellations than ever. Will you make representations to Govia about getting this mess sorted out; and will you again lobby the Government for decentralisation of commuter lines to Transport for London?

I have been trying for several months to arrange a site visit with Transport for London (TfL) engineers to places along the Northern Line that are suffering excessive noise; at the London Assembly Plenary meeting on your Environmental Strategy, you agreed that the new Deputy Mayor for Transport would also visit these locations with me. Will you now instruct TfL to stop prevaricating and arrange these visits?

My constituent Razana Yoosuf of Mornington Crescent first raised her problems with Tube noise on 1 Nov 2016 and, after 19 months, she is still waiting for her complaint to be satisfactorily resolved with many readings exceeding 40DB after mitigation measures were implemented. Do you consider this to be satisfactory; and, if not, what are you going to do about it?

What advice will you give to long standing residents who face relatively recently generated increases in significant tube noise above 40Db after Transport for London have done such mitigation works as they can, and will not do anymore?

Over the bank holiday weekend, TfL replaced 800 tonnes of old track bed with new granite ballast, installed longer life concrete sleepers and new rail at Finchley Central. What assessment was given to the risks of an increase in tube noise as a result of these works creating a noise nuisance for those living near the line?
