Further to Question No: 2016/3398 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...

Last year, when it was then expected that the night tube would start on the Northern Line, TfL promised to carry out noise mitigation works on the track near Colindale station. These works have not been done, or not done effectively. The line is still as noisy as ever and constituents living near the line tell me they dread trying to sleep if the tube is going to run throughout the night every weekend. Will you ensure TfL keeps their promise to these residents as a matter of urgency?

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.

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'.

Further to Question No: 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 response being: 'Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly'. Will you now give a substantive reply?

Tottenham Court Road and Gower Street are amongst the worst polluted streets in the UK, and Oxford Street is one of the most polluted streets in the world. A major contributor to this is widely acknowledged as being emissions from the engines of buses, including the new Routemaster. It is an offence under The Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 1986 for vehicles to be left with engines idling unnecessarily whilst stationary. It is also a requirement of Regulation 88 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, as amended, that drivers switch off engines in parked vehicles. Indeed, it...
