CS11 [2]

  • Reference: 2016/4391
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
TfL have had no stakeholder meetings in Camden Town concerning CS11 even though the proposals have an impact there as well as in Swiss Cottage, as there is an issue about diversionary traffic heading onto residential streets to the east of Regents Park when Albany Street and Prince Albert Road become the main alternative route to the outer circle for traffic in peak hours (because of the shutting of gates into the park for CS11). These two roads are also affected by HS2 major utility works and are the primary HGV routes for their lorry holding area in the zoo...

Further to Question No: 2016/3899 How many people objected to TfL's plans for CS11 and how many supported them, if those signing petitions are counted individually and not en bloc?

Surface level tube stations' lighting

  • Reference: 2016/4389
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Further to Question 2016/3389 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? Your answer being: 'Station staff are instructed to turn off lights during daylight hours where it is possible. Unfortunately, a legacy of...

Oyster card top up machine planned for Brent Cross centre

  • Reference: 2016/4388
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Further to Question No: 2016/3919 When can we finally expect the bus station at Brent Cross to have the Oyster Card top-up machines to be operational? Your response being: 'This Oyster Card top-up machine is now expected to be up and running in the first few months of 2017. This is a little later than originally planned due to the more complex nature of the top-up machines at bus stations. The machines at bus stations are more complex than those found in Tube stations as they need to be able to regulate the cash and stock levels for a longer...

Request stops

  • Reference: 2016/4387
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Following a public consultation in 2007, request stops were abolished and drivers were instructed to stop at all stops where someone was waiting. TfL, despite the consultation, decided not to inform the public of this change. This has led to drivers tending to treat stops as request stops to the disadvantage of not only visually impaired passengers but others who fail to signal their intention to board. Will you ensure that TfL now run a public information campaign to update all TfL customers, including the millions of visitors to our city, of the correct way to use bus stops?

Night tube and public conveniences for Chalk Farm

  • Reference: 2016/4386
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Further to Question No: 2016/3925 At the most recent ward Safer Neighbourhood meeting in Haverstock, concerns were raised about the impact of the night tube and in particular that it would result in more people who have had too much to drink relieving themselves in doorways on the way to or from Chalk Farm station. How do you plan to mitigate against this, and will you consider reopening the public toilet at Chalk Farm station? Your response being: Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly. Will you now give a substantive reply?

Noise pollution through the night on the Northern Line [2]

  • Reference: 2016/4385
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Further to Question No: 2016/3903 Further to Question No: 2016/3391 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? Your response being: 'Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly'. Will you now give a substantive...

Noise pollution through the night on the Northern Line [1]

  • Reference: 2016/4384
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
A constituent wrote to TfL in September regarding the noise from the Southbound track entering the tunnel at East Finchley which directly affects them and many neighbours. TfL's reply indicated the noise will abate and the track has been relaid. As this was more than 'smoothing' the track as TfL originally suggested was this relaid track intended to abate the noise?

Jubilee line night tube

  • Reference: 2016/4383
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
A constituent has told me that as a Londoner and theatre goer, she looked forward to the Jubilee line night tube opening, but it has not been considered how she would get from the station to her house. In her case it would be from Kilburn station to the Railway Cottages in Cricklewood, which is a 25 min walk. What advice can you give her?

Naming of stations

  • Reference: 2016/4382
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2016
Is it true that Tottenham Hotspur are asking TfL to rename White Hart Lane station after the club to coincide with the planned opening of its new stadium in 2018; if so what will they pay for the privilege; and what precedent is this setting for other commercial organisations who wish to rename stations near their premises?
