Negative body image advertising at London Underground stations

  • Reference: 2017/0475
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
The Transport for London (TfL) advertising policy came into force on 13 July 2016. The policy states "Advertisements will not be approved for, or permitted to remain on TfL's services if…it could reasonably be seen as likely to cause pressure to conform to an unrealistic or unhealthy body shape, or as likely to create body confidence issues particularly among young people". I have received complaints from constituents about the recent Protein World "Can you keep up with a Kardashian?" advertisements that have been installed at London Underground stations. Do these advertisements fall foul of section 2.3 (d) of your advertising...

Barking to Gospel Oak London Overground Line (3)

  • Reference: 2017/0474
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Following the statement that TfL are seeking compensation from Network Rail for the added disruption to Overground services due to their failure to complete the Barking - Gospel Oak electrification works on time do you agree that at least some of any compensation TfL obtains should be passed on to the long suffering regular users of this service, given that they now have several more months of disruption ahead of them?

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
In your answer to Question 2016/4102, you stated that four trains per hour would be the maximum that could run on the Barking Riverside extension. One of the options TfL is looking at for the Gospel Oak - Barking Line is 5 trains per hour in 2020. Would this leave Barking Riverside with an irregular service? Please also state what plans TfL have to deal with passenger demand at Barking Riverside growing to exceed the capacity of the planned four train per hour service?

Bus Safety in London

  • Reference: 2017/0468
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
In Question No: 2017/0038 you state that "the overall record on bus safety in London is good" yet an International Bus Benchmarking Report presented to the IIPAG on 18 May 2016 shows London as ranked in the bottom quartile (11 of 15) for vehicle collisions per vehicle km. Given this London's poor performance on bus collisions relative to these world classcities in this study, on what basis do you make your assertion and why has TfL not made this report available for public scrutiny?
