A local group has raised this issue with me. The South Harrow bound Baptist Church bus stop in High Street Wealdstone has no shelter nor is any other shelter, for example a shop canopy, in the vicinity of the bus stop. This bus stop is widely used by older people who go to the Church or the Mosque at Whitefriars Avenue. The group has brought this to the Mayor and TfL's attention but to no avail; will you instruct TfL to investigate the issue as a matter of urgency please?

A question from my constituent: Do you acknowledge there is sufficient existing space between the Willesden Junction Old Oak sidings tracks for a future island platform at your new London Overground station, even if that is not needed immediately? Given the adequate width of the overall site, will your station design protect that existing space for an island platform on the two adjacent tracks?
