  • Utilising Capacity at Airports in the South East. (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: I just wanted to come in, if I may, Sir Howard, with a quick reaction to that comment. You have encapsulated a problem but you have it the wrong way around. You have said the problem is that TfL is trying to talk about growth that is not attributable to Heathrow. The problem is the other way around. Your projections are not taking account of the fact that all of those schemes that you have referred to there and that you are taking for granted will happen, like Crossrail 2, are actually being driven by the...
  • Effect on the Environment of a Third Runway (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Murad Qureshi AM: I have to say on the noise front that I am staggered that Heathrow Airport has got away with decades of not offering the same compensation and mitigation that every other airport in Europe, including City Airport, offers to the residents even before expansion is considered. That aside, can I bring you back to air quality mitigation as you have mentioned a few times earlier? You put a lot of weight on the Marylebone Road. I should be grateful; I am a resident who lives off the Marylebone Road. Quite honestly, by using that as the indicator...
  • Effect on the Environment of a Third Runway (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Nicky Gavron AM: Sir Howard I want to ask about some of the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) implications - and carbon-emission reduction - that flow from your report. The context is that the Committee on Climate Change has said that to meet the Government target of an 80% reduction for the UK in carbon emissions by 2050, UK aviation emissions will have to stay within a cap of 37.5 million tons per annum. You are saying that even with a third runway you can stay within that cap. First, the basic assumption you make is that your baseline is...

    TfL recently confirmed that capacity will be boosted on this severely overcrowded route, beginning in the autumn.

  • Temperature target on buses

    • Reference: 2014/2998
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 September 2014
    Your response to MQ number 2014/2689 did not disclose a health and safety target temperature for London buses. Please confirm whether or not TfL has such a target and, if it does, please let me know what it is.
  • New bus - emissions

    • Reference: 2014/2999
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 September 2014
    In your answer to my question 1381/2013 in May last year, you stated that you would be testing emissions of the New Bus for London on route 24. Now you have had a year to compare results, will you please publish them in full, including the average mpg for the bus, broken down by month?

  • Crossrail – link to Thamesmead

    • Reference: 2014/3001
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 September 2014
    Thamesmead is one of the largest areas of London to have no railway station of its own. Have you studied the potential for a future extension of Crossrail to the area?
  • Vauxhall Bus Station Redevelopment

    • Reference: 2014/3002
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 September 2014
    Some residents groups around Vauxhall want TfL to remove the gyratory at Vauxhall Cross but retain the bus station. Will TfL model the impact of this option on traffic levels, journey times, air and noise pollution levels, and the bus network, and release the results to the public?
  • Kings Cross Gyratory (1)

    • Reference: 2014/3003
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 September 2014
    Of the 433 respondents to TfL's consultation on changes to be made at this gyratory, 220 supported the introduction of segregated cycle lanes and/or advance stop lines at the traffic lights for cyclists. Please give the reasons why the decision has been taken by TfL not to implement to the wishes of 52% of respondents.
