Tube Noise between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross (5)

  • Reference: 2025/0217
  • Question by: Sem Moema
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Between 20 October 2024 - 20 March 2025 the rails between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross will have been ground once for a total 110m (see response to Question 2024/4194). Grinding frequency and meterage need to be returned to previous levels. When will this be implemented?

  • Question by: Sem Moema
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
TfL has taken a "new" (since April 2022) data-led approach to grinding which has proved flawed because it fails to correlate with real noise as experienced by residents in their homes and as set out by in-home measurements taken by TfL's own engineers. How will TfL ensure that the concerns of my constituents regarding the noise disturbance they are forced to live with form part of its data-led approach?

  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Since April 2022 TfL has reduced the rail meterage ground in this area by +/-80% and extended the periods between grinding. How is TfL monitoring in-home noise disturbance for my constituents to ensure that these changes are not leading to an increase in Tube noise for them?

In the last five Tube Noise reports from the COO of TfL to Assembly Members, the Victoria line between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross is recognised as one of the 5 persistent Tube Noise Hotspots.

Renters Rights Bill (2)

  • Reference: 2025/0212
  • Question by: Sem Moema
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
You and I have campaigned for years on the need for greater tenant protections including the end to section 21 no-fault evictions and the application of Awaab’s law to the private rental sector. The Bill is set to go much further than the previous Renters Reform Bill which saw continuous delays under the last Government, including by taking action to end bidding wars. How do you think this Bill will protect Londoners?

Capacity on the Weaver line (2)

  • Reference: 2025/0207
  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
In response to my question 2024/1436, you said, “TfL was planning to implement this change [to the timetable] in December 2024 but that is no longer possible because the changes were dependent on other Network Rail timetable alterations which are no longer progressing”. Are you now planning to implement these changes to the timetable in May 2025?
