Mobiles on the tube

  • Reference: 2011/1059
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
In deciding to support this initiative, did you consider the alternative of retaining the relative peace and quiet of a mobile free service? What detailed consideration did you give to this, cheaper and probably quite popular, option?

UK Technology Hub

  • Question by: John Biggs

Brent Cross Light Rail

  • Reference: 2011/1056
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
3 Outer London boroughs have voted to support in principle a light-rail orbital rail scheme in North West London. Will you instruct your new Outer London advisor to meet with the London Campaign for Better Transport to discuss the scheme and TfL to carry out a feasibility study for this scheme?

Jubilee Line

  • Reference: 2011/1055
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
There are three weekends in a row of both day closures on the Jubilee line between West Hampstead and Stanmore and it is making peoples lives extremely difficult. Can you guarantee to my constituents there will be no weekend closures on the Jubilee Line beyond April 2011?

S Stock trains and door delays

  • Reference: 2011/1054
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
I have been contacted about problems with the doors on the S Stock trains sitting at the platform for quite a few seconds before the doors open. S Stock trains also seem to have their doors open for longer and they often announce that the front and back carriage doors won't open. What is causing these problems and what is being done to fix them?

Biking Boroughs

  • Reference: 2011/1053
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
TfL have said that the main potential for cycle growth in London lies in the Outer London Boroughs. Some of these, for example Brent, have been designated as "Biking Boroughs", and are eligible for small funds from TfL, while neighbouring boroughs are not eligible for these funds. Given the target for cycling mode share of 4.3% by 2026, how does the Biking Boroughs scheme in its current form aid integrated cycle provision in London?

Cycle Superhighways

  • Reference: 2011/1052
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
TfL have said that the main potential for cycle growth in London lies in the Outer London Boroughs. Why will there be no Cycle Superhighways serving Brent or Harrow for the foreseeable future?

Interchange at stations

  • Reference: 2011/1051
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Thank you for your reply to Q456/2011 stating that there was no formalised practice of trains waiting at stations so people could change. I have had a number of responses from constituents adamant that they have heard announcements asking drivers to wait to allow passengers to change trains. One constituent has used this service for over 30 years, as both the Bakerloo and Jubilee Lines and former London Underground employees have advised that waiting for an interchange was the practice. My constituent states that the recent changes have nothing to do with driver change-over as the interchange wait rarely happened...
