Defective trains on the District and Metropolitan Line

  • Reference: 2011/1383
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Please list all the defects found on the rolling stock on the District and Metropolitan lines, as pointed out on page 2 of the Managing Director's report, Rail and Underground Panel, made to the TfL Board on the 5th May.

Jubilee Line Upgrade - slipped another month?

  • Reference: 2011/1382
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
TfL issued a press release on the 28th April stating that the new timetable with increased capacity will commence "from July." However, TfL Board Papers from Thursday 5th May state "It is planned to introduce the first timetable changes on 31 July 2011." Therefore will you be honest with Londoners and tell them they won't actually feel the benefits of this extra capacity until August, instead of July, and that this is yet further slippage on the Jubilee line upgrade?
