consultation on bus services on the Finchley Road

  • Reference: 2016/3398
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Transport for London has been consulting on bus services on the Finchley Road. The consultation proposes to "extend route 13 to North Finchley in the north and divert it to Victoria in the south (replacing route 82)" as part of an effort to reduce traffic flow through the Finchley Road. However, these proposals in effect rename the 82 bus as 13 while scrapping the existing 13, a proposal that was heavily rejected in a consultation which was cancelled just before the 2015 election. Why is TfL trying to pull the wool over the eyes of local bus users, by reintroducing...

Escalator works at Holborn tube station

  • Reference: 2016/3397
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Escalator works at Holborn tube station are restricting the station to exit only in morning peak periods. At the same time, works at Chancery Lane also impact on travellers, especially local people living nearby who want to use the tube to get to work in the mornings and there are also major works still underway at Tottenham Court Road. Can the work be phased to allow some entrance as well as exit; why could the work not have been postponed till both Tottenham Court Road and Chancery Lane work was completed; and how does this Holborn station work fit in...

  • Reference: 2016/3392
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016

Noise pollution through the night on the Northern Line

  • Reference: 2016/3391
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
For many months, there has been a seriously noisy bit of track on the Northern Line, northbound between West Finchley and Woodside Park stations, approximately 100 metres before the track goes over Holden Road. Every time a train goes over this portion of track there is a pronounced clanking noise which is very disturbing for residents living nearby. Will you arrange for this to be investigated and remedial action taken promptly?

Provision for safe cycling on A400 Hampstead Road

  • Reference: 2016/3390
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
The provision of safe cycling infrastructure in Hampstead Road as a part of the planned London Cycling Grid has been recognised as a priority by TfL, Camden Council and London Cycling Campaign. While TfL planners have made good progress in developing a design in consultation with these stakeholders, a consultation released by TfL in June 2016 entitled "A400 Hampstead Road bus reliability and road safety improvements" makes no reference to or provision for safe cycling. Will you ensure that provision for safe cycling to London Cycling Design Standards is included in the proposals before work proceeds?

Tube station lighting in summer daylight hours

  • Reference: 2016/3389
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Why, during 15 hours of bright sunshine do Burnt Oak, Colindale and Brent Cross stations, for example, have all their electric lights on like an airport runway 24 hours a day, when other open surface level stations switch the lights off during daylight hours. Do you agree that this is a waste of money and energy and, if so, will you issue guidance to TfL on when it is appropriate to turn lights off?
