Pay

  • Reference: 2014/2867
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Recent GLA Economics forecasting suggests that wage inflation will be 2.1% in 2016. Do you agree that this would be insufficient should prices - particularly the cost of housing and transport in London - continue to rise at current rates?

London Underground Ticket Office Transactions

  • Reference: 2014/2866
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
On 04 February 2014 my office requested information from TfL on the number of transactions made at London Underground Ticket Offices broken down by financial year and transaction type. On 26 February 2014 we received the data, but it turned out to be wrong. On 27 February 2014 TfL confirmed that the figures were wrong. On 28 February 2014 my office requested further information. The deadline for TfL to provide this information was 28th March 2014. We are now 15 weeks past this deadline and a staggering 22 weeks since my original enquiry was made. Can you explain why such...

Cashless buses

  • Reference: 2014/2865
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Please can you confirm what training and advice has been provided to bus drivers should they pick up a passenger who has lost or had their Oyster card stolen, particularly if this is late in the evening and/or in an area where an Oyster ticket stop is not available?

Streatham Hub

  • Reference: 2014/2864
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
In light of the successful completion of the Streatham Hub facilities with its new Ice rink, swimming and leisure centre and a major supermarket will TfL carry out an assessment of the adequacy of the capacity of bus services serving the area?

London Bridge station - service disruptions

  • Reference: 2014/2863
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Are you content with the limited replacement service or the lack of publicity being given to the necessary disruption to train services form London Bridge either during August or in the post 1 September period? Do you think Network Rail, SE Trains, Southern and FCC should have learned the lesson of the Olympics, that alerting and encouraging passengers to seek alternative routes needs mass publicity and advance warning?

Crystal Palace Development

  • Reference: 2014/2862
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
There has been no up to date information put into the public arena about the proposed land deal between ZRG and Bromley Council or the likely nature of the Planning application to be submitted - for which you have publicly expressed enthusiasm. To date the local community have little hard information on which to assess the merits or problems of a major development on the topsite at the Crystal Place Park. Please set out what your staff's expectations are now for the timetable on this application? When will it be submitted? When can we expect to see a Transport impact...

TfL Overground Brixton

  • Reference: 2014/2861
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
TfL had previously considered building a platform at Brixton High level station in order to allow the Overground train service to stop there and passengers to interchange with the underground. Has TfL recently refreshed its analysis of the costs and benefits of such a proposal given the growing population in South London and Lambeth Council's regeneration plans for the Borough?

Arriva buses

  • Reference: 2014/2860
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
I am concerned to see at least two Arriva training buses (blue livery) belching smoke and foul smelling fumes from their exhausts as they drive around the West Norwood area. This is despite my direct complaints to TfL some weeks ago. What steps does TfL have in place to ensure that bus training fleets are checked for emission standards? What action will TfL take against operators who run vehicles which fail emission tests?

Camberwell Station

  • Reference: 2014/2859
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Southwark Council has a very long standing aspiration to restore a station at Camberwell New Road on the railway line running between Loughborough Junction and Elephant and Castle. Network Rail has always argued that the distance between stations would be too short. Could modern railway technology deal with this problem? If so would TfL support this aspiration?

Bakerloo line extension

  • Reference: 2014/2858
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
What plans are in place to progress the development of a regeneration plan which would help finance the Bakerloo line extension via the Old Kent Road?
