East London Line closure

  • Reference: 2008/0401
  • Question by: Geoff Pope
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
The fury of Rotherhithe residents over TfL's complacent attitude to their problems in getting to work in the City following the closure of the East London Line will not be lessened by your reply to my Question 126 / 2008. Those taking an additional 45 minutes to get to work as against their normal 45-minute journey need TfL to take immediate action to allow those in huge 381 bus queues to board empty ELL replacement buses. When will you order this?

Dial-A-Ride services: SE London

  • Reference: 2008/0400
  • Question by: Geoff Pope
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
Reports have been received that the centralised and computerised Dial-A-Ride service no longer provides a dependable service to older people in South East London, with regular bookings taking up to 12 weeks to arrange, drivers going to the wrong address, vulnerable passengers left stranded at shopping centres, and time not being allowed for passengers with mobility problems. What will you do to address these problems?
