Terms and definitions A Accountability - Assigned to the person who has the ultimate responsibility for completion of the activity to the required standard and has the authority to veto. Within LU, this authority resides with the appropriate Executive Director. ALARP - Under UK legislation, LU is required to do whatever is reasonably practicable to reduce the health and safety risks to its employees and others affected by its operations; in other words, risks must be reduced to a level which is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). The term reasonably practicable means that safety measures should be undertaken unless the cost, in terms of money, time and trouble, is grossly disproportionate to the safety benefit, which is expressed in terms of the value of the risk averted by the safety measure. Asset - An item of property owned or leased by LU. Asset Life Cycle - The life of an asset can be represented by a series of stages commencing with identification of need through specification, design, manufacture or construct, install, commissioning (sometimes included with installation), operate and maintain (the service life) and ending with withdrawal and disposal. This is one cycle of the asset life cycle. Assuming continued requirement for an asset the commissioning stage of a second life cycle will coincide with withdrawal of the asset used in the first life cycle. Asset Management - Asset Management is the way assets (such as trains, signals, stations and tunnels) are managed throughout their life to achieve the right balance of cost, performance and risk for the organisation. Asset Management covers demand analysis, asset acquisition, operation, maintenance and renewal/disposal and follows a plan, do, check, act process. Automatic Train Operation - The subsystem of automatic train control, responsible for the automatic driving of trains. B None C Category 1 Standard - A standard which is owned by LU, mandatory on LU and members of the LU Group. Version 2.00, © London Underground Limited 2012 vi London Underground - Safety Certification and Safety Authorisation Glossary Category 2 Standard - LU or Tube Lines standards which support LU's requirements stated within Category 1 Standards. They are usually a process or asset related standard. Category 5 Standard – An LU standard which is mandatory within LU only.

These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

  • Settlement Capacity Study Update
    Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Page 0 of 122 Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Introduction Local authorities are encouraged by Paragraph 65 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to set out a housing requirement for designated neighbourhood areas as part of their strategic policies. This is to enable neighbourhood plans to provide sufficient housing sites to meet their expected allocation. All currently-designated neighbourhood areas in Chiltern and South Bucks Districts share their boundaries with parish boundaries. It is anticipated that any future designations will also be for town council or parish council areas rather than for areas smaller or larger than these. The purpose of this study is to calculate required housing numbers for each parish within Chiltern and South Bucks. The Planning Practice Guidance1 confirms that there is no set methodology available for doing this, stating “the general policy making process already undertaken by local authorities can continue to be used to direct development requirements and balance needs and protections by taking into consideration relevant policies such as the spatial strategy, evidence such as the Housing and economic land availability assessment, and the characteristics of the neighbourhood area, including its population and role in providing services. In setting requirements for housing in designated neighbourhood areas, plan-making authorities should consider the areas or assets of particular importance (as set out in paragraph 11, footnote 6), which may restrict the scale, type or distribution of development in a neighbourhood plan area”. The NPPF requires the housing requirement figure for a neighbourhood area to reflect the Local Plan’s overall strategy for the pattern and scale of development and any relevant allocations.

  • The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line
    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2.

  • Report Providing a Tourism Baseline in the HS2 Corridor
    The volume and value of tourism in the HS2 corridor of the Chilterns AONB A baseline study Prepared by: TSE Research Services 40 Chamberlayne Road Eastleigh Hampshire SO50 5JH Contributors and dedication Dedication This report is dedicated to Shirley Judges, (1949-2014), a passionate supporter and ardent protector of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.
