Since May 2008 please list each transport project (total project costs estimated at more that 5£M) which was previously in the TFL business plan which has been a) cancelled or b) delayed by more than 1 year or c) had spending levels reduced by more than 50% .

Freedom Pass and fares increase

  • Reference: 2011/0186-1
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Many older and disabled Londoners rely on their Freedom Pass to maintain independence. London Councils have estimated that due to next year's 7% fare increase, the cost of the scheme - which is mostly borne by the boroughs - will increase by 7.79% - or £22million. Will you take steps to minimise this burden on the already over-stretched boroughs?

Bike scheme

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
How many tourists used the bike hire scheme over the Summer months?

Dust suppressants

  • Reference: 2011/0184-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Where exactly are the dust suppressant trials in operation - not just the roads, but where on each road? What assessment have you done of their impact on PM10 and NOx and do you consider the trials to have been a success?

Lifts at West Hampstead

  • Reference: 2011/0183-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
The West Hampstead Amenity and Transport group (WHAT) have pointed out that lifts are about to open at the Thameslink station to aid passengers travelling to and from the airports it connects (Luton and Gatwick) to assist people who are disabled and those with pushchairs etc. However, there will be no lift access at the tube station nearby with which the rail line is intended to be connected. For full connectivity, should TfL provide lift access at West Hampstead tube station as well?

Congestion Charge during Olympics III

  • Reference: 2011/0182-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Will any Olympic or sponsor vehicles be granted exemption from, or any concessions to the congestion charge?

Congestion Charge during Olympics II

  • Reference: 2011/0181-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Will there be any amendments to the congestion charge during the Olympic and Paralympics games time?

Congestion Charge during Olympics I

  • Reference: 2011/0180-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
What arrangements are there in place to ensure all the Olympic vehicles pay their congestion charge? Bearing in mind the continuing problems that exist in collecting unpaid fines from foreign vehicles, are there for example block payment arrangements with the companies and organisations who will have vehicles in London during the Olympics and Paralympics next year?

Crossrail and Big Table

  • Reference: 2011/0179-1
  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
I am concerned that a long-standing retail and manufacturing business in west London will lose their premises, a lovely 19th century building still in active use, simply because Crossrail planners want their site, but have not taken sufficient care in how they can minimise disruption to the local area. Will you please ensure that the senior planner for this section of Crossrail meets with me and the owners of Big Table at the site to explain Crossrail's current thinking for the area and how the site can be shared, or the sub-station moved nearer to the tunnel?
