There are around 128,000 licensed motorcycles in London.
Motorcycle riders experience a disproportionate number of road collisions – despite motorcycles being just one per cent of journeys in London, around a fifth of casualties are motorcycle riders.
The London Assembly Transport Committee investigated this topic in 2015/16 and published the report, Easy Rider. Tomorrow’s meeting is an opportunity to follow up progress on the recommendations in that report. The guests are:
FIRST PANEL – 10.00 am to approx. 11.30 am
- Lilli Matson, Head of Strategy and Outcome Planning, Surface Transport, TfL
- Caroline Hazlehurst, Director of Operations in the UK, Deliveroo
- Anna Zee, Director of Political and Technical Services, British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF)
- Craig Carey-Clinch, Policy Adviser, Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA)
- Philip Marshall, Co-Founder, WeRide London.
On October 10, 2017, TfL admitted it had put on hold plans to buy additional trains for the Northern and Jubilee lines. The new trains are a vital part of upgrade projects, and capacity gains cannot be made without them. 10 additional trains are needed on the Jubilee line, and 17 on the Northern line.
TfL suggested that the capacity improvements it’s making elsewhere on the network mean that it can ‘pause’ the Jubilee and Northern line projects. The London Assembly Transport Committee will want further information on the ‘pauses’. The guests are:
SECOND PANEL – from approx. 11.30 am
- Val Shawcross, Deputy Mayor for Transport
- David Hughes, Director of Strategy and Service Development, London Underground, TfL
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 8 November from 10:00am in The Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend
