I understand that a re-consultation exercise is currently underway regarding the route options for the proposed Northern Line Extension until August 2011. Why does the updated leaflet still contain options 3 and 4 when I was informed at the recent exhibition and public meeting that they have both been ruled out, (option 3 because Vauxhall Station cannot cope with the extra capacity it would bring, and option 4 as the line would travel underneath the new US Embassy site)? Will you review this consultation so that Londoners are not misled and it becomes a genuine consultation?

Prior to having the new computer system, Dial A Ride only required one hour's notice from users for same day bookings, but now with the new computer system in place it requires two hours. Given the figures for same day bookings completed by Dial A Ride each year before the new computer system in 2004/05 was over 17,000, compared with just over 10,000 for 2009/10, will you review and improve the system?
