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?

Body-mounted cameras

  • Reference: 2014/2857
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Will you ask the Met to wear body-mounted cameras to film all stop-and-searches in London to boost public confidence and tackle the "historically poor" relations between some black residents and police?

'Third Party Funding' for Accessibility of Tube/Overground Stations (2)

  • Reference: 2014/2856
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
Will you look at other ways of funding which may help speed implementation?

'Third Party Funding' for Accessibility of Tube/Overground Stations (1)

  • Reference: 2014/2855
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
It would appear that TfL is heavily relying on third party funding sources. Whilst it is very helpful to have additional investment, do you not think that such a policy can delay and in most cases entirely hinder potential for step free access required at underground/overground stations?

Accessibility of Stanmore Station

  • Reference: 2014/2854
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
I welcome the availability of the new style manual ramp. However, this does not solve the major problem of accessibility at the station. May I have an update of any plans you may have to resolve this problem for this important station that links with RNOH?

Lowlands Road - Harrow, Project Funded by OLF

  • Reference: 2014/2853
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
The project at the rear of Harrow-on-the-Hill Station has been seriously delayed. Can you give assurance that there will be ongoing support from the GLA to Harrow Council to implement this scheme speedily?

TfL Countdown - Neasden Shopping Centre

  • Reference: 2014/2852
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 July 2014
I was informed a year ago that TfL were conducting a review, following a request for an electronic bus stop timer at Neasden Shopping Centre. Is there an update on the outcome of the review and will the bus stop at Neasden Shopping Centre be getting an electronic bus timer?
