At Mayor's Question Time on the 23rd March 2011, you provided a commitment to seek to reach an urgent agreement to allow guide dogs on moving escalators. Please can you advise: a) What actions, if any, you or your office have taken since the 23rd March in relation to resolving this issue? Please detail any correspondence, meetings or phone conversations you have had with the Department for Transport. b) Why you have repeatedly failed to respond to my letter, dated the 24th March, asking for clarification as to how the bye-law will be amended.

Overcharging on Oyster (2)

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

Overcharging on Oyster (1)

  • Reference: 2011/1908
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 15 June 2011
A system of "auto complete" occurs at major events where the barriers are left open and passengers are not expected to swipe their Oyster cards. Passengers who do not subsequently swipe their Oyster cards within three days at the event station face a charge for a maximum complete journey often greater than the journey made. Given that TfL is aware of this problem, what steps are being taken to: a) Inform passengers that they have been overcharged and to set out how to seek a refund? b) To ensure that this "drawback" in the Oyster system is eradicated?
