  • Edited Press Releases Transport for London London Underground
    EDITED PRESS RELEASES TRANSPORT FOR LONDON LONDON UNDERGROUND Restoration of landmark façade complete at King’s Cross St. Pancras 7 September 2006 Renovation of the Grade 1 listed, 130 year old Gothic façade at St. Pancras station has received a major boost with completion of extensive restoration works on the historic Pancras Chambers façade which now forms the exterior to the new Western ticket hall at King’s Cross St. Pancras Underground station. The work, which has taken five years to complete, was undertaken as part of TfL’s £10bn Investment Programme to improve and expand London’s transport network. As part of the ongoing redevelopment of King’s Cross St. Pancras Underground station, a new Western ticket hall has been constructed underneath the forecourt of the Pancras Chambers, doubling the Underground station’s capacity. This extensive construction work had to be carried out whilst carefully protecting the forecourt’s façade. London Underground worked closely with English Heritage and the London Borough of Camden in order to ensure that appropriate conservation techniques were implemented, enabling this section of the landmark building to be returned to its original condition. 4,500 environmental readings were analysed every week to make certain the heritage building’s tolerance levels for movement were not exceeded. The façade walls are made up stonework fittings and over 200,000 heritage bricks. During construction many heritage items had to be carefully labelled, removed and stored. Specialist restorers, Szerelmey Ltd., undertook a condition survey of the existing material, under the guidance of English Heritage, and produced full layout drawings, templates and moulds to reproduce the missing or badly damaged units.

  • One Way Tram in Town Centre?
    8 Issue 4: December 2007 One way tram in town centre? The TfL (Transport for London) consultation last year, on possible tram routes, confirmed that there could be great difficulties in accommodating the tram on the roads and through the town square in the crowded Peckham town centre. To deal with some of these problems Peckham Vision has suggested a one-way tram loop right around the town centre. The map shows a tram route entering the town centre along the TfL proposed route but only one way single track from Kelly Avenue, along Jocelyn St, then through the town square behind the Library, across Peckham Hill St, behind the Post Office, to Morrison’s car park; then south along Clayton Rd and Consort Rd to Heaton Rd; back along Rye Lane stopping right outside Peckham Rye station; and then out of the town centre via the One-way tram loop around Peckham town centre High Street and rejoining the double track tram near Kelly Avenue, or Southampton Way. Still a Cross-River Tram? Is it feasible? A one way system seems to work well in Croydon town centre. A single track would be much less disruptive than a Because of opposition to the tram from double track. It would be less intrusive in the narrow residential Camden Council, London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, said that the first phase of the streets, in the town square behind the Library, and across the main roads, and along Rye Lane and the High Street, than a two-way tram would be only in South London and end double track tram.

Proceedings of a seminar held by the Transport Committee April 2004 Transport Committee Tram, trolley or guided bus: what are the best choices for London? Proceedings of a seminar held by the Transport Committee April 2004 copyright Greater London Authority April 2004 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4100 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN 1 85261 585 0 Cover photographs Tram and guided bus ©Robert Bain Trolley bus ©Lars Freund This publication is printed on recycled paper Chair’s foreword One of the most useful and positive parts of the London Assembly’s work is to host seminars where leading experts in particular fields can inform and debate with stakeholders, politicians and local government officers. The publication of these contributions will help Londoners and their representatives to develop opinions based on well-researched information instead of speculation and prejudice. It was in this spirit that the Transport Committee of the Assembly hosted a seminar into trams, trolley buses and guided busways, with a view to informing ourselves and London about the proposals for tram and bus schemes that the Mayor is promoting through Transport for London. Peter Hendy provided a rapid but thorough overview of Transport for London’s policies, plans and programme in this area. Carmen Hass-Klau contrasted this with what is going on in continental Europe, looking at what London has to learn. She gave us a glimpse of tram projects in Nantes, Paris and Orleans, the Translohr rubber-tyred tram, and bus trains in Utrecht and Hamburg.

  • The East London Line Extension Project
    THE EAST LONDON LINE EXTENSION PROJECT After being talked about for so many years, the East London Line Extension Project (ELLP) is now set to become a reality. Back in 1988 when the individual ‘Line General Manager’ concept was created by London Underground, replacing the ‘Divisional’ structure (four groups of lines), the then new General Manager for the East London Line was confident that the proposed scheme was “just around the corner”, having been first seriously proposed in 1985. Sadly, that General Manager did not stay with London Underground long enough to see the project kick off – many years later. (The creation of a General Manager for the East London Line caused a bit of consternation at the time. With its offices soon established at Shadwell, it was soon recognised that the line employed more managers than they operated trains!). From 1991, the management of the East London Line has been tacked on to the Jubilee Line but, more recently, broke away from the Jubilee and instead combined with the Waterloo & City Line. The management of the East London and Waterloo & City lines today still exceeds the number of trains scheduled for service on both lines (six and four respectively) although each line has its own identity and line colour. Prior to becoming a ‘line’ in its own right it had traditionally and unassumedly been part of the Metropolitan Line, having carried that line’s colour until 1988, when it became ‘orange’ (some publicity at the time made references to the Tango orange drink!), as did the Hammersmith & City Line, which became a sort of salmon pink.
