The market and the adjacent Charterhouse Square denote this as an area of historical signifi cance. The existing urban realm is inconsistent in its treatment and quality, with a limited number of formal pedestrian crossings and poor way-fi nding. The area operates in very di erent ways depending upon the time of day. It can be dominated by HGV vehicles servicing the market in the very early hours of the morning, by commuters during the day and by a very active night-time economy in the evenings. As such, the new urban realm scheme has been designed to function e ectively for each of these users.

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.

  • London Assembly out of Frustration with the Lack of Response
    Appendix 1 Environment Committee - Thursday, 16 March 2017 Transcript of Item 5 – Tube Noise Leonie Cooper AM (Chair): That brings us rather rapidly to our first item on Tube noise. This has been the subject of much correspondence from those afflicted with the problem and we are very fortunate to have a number of people with us this morning who are going to be able to speak to how it has been impacting on them and their neighbourhood and their neighbours. We are also very fortunate to have some guests from Transport for London (TfL) who are, hopefully, going to be able to explain some of the ins and outs of the solutions and how quickly they may or may not be applied. Just to introduce our guests, we have Richard Collins. You are very welcome. He is from the Barbican Association, which has a working group on Underground issues. We have Ian Kitson, who is a resident in Marylebone. You are very welcome as well. We have Liz Lawson, who is from the Archway Tube Noise Action Group. We have Razana Yoosuf, who is a resident in Mornington Crescent. We also have with us from TfL Helen Woolston [Sustainability Co-ordinator, London Underground] and Duncan Weir [Head of Operational Upgrades & Asset Development, London Underground]. You are all very welcome and we are very grateful for you joining us today to discuss the impacts, which we are going to start with now. I have probably asked our guests who are affected by Tube noise to start by doing something almost impossible.

  • Farringdon Elizabeth Line Station Handed Over to Transport for London
    Farringdon Elizabeth line station handed over to Transport for London March 5, 2021 Farringdon Elizabeth line station has been officially handed over to Transport for London (TfL). It is the first of the central London stations to be transferred over to TfL, who will operate the Elizabeth line. The station is now ready and the extensive testing and commissioning of systems have been finalised in advance of Trial Operations beginning later this year. Trial Operations is the final phase of testing involving trials to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway for public use. This includes real-time testing of evacuations of trains and stations before opening the Elizabeth line. The contractor, Bam Ferrovial and Kier Joint Venture (BFK JV) will continue demobilisation from the site. This is the second of the new Elizabeth line stations to be handed over to TfL and the first to London Underground as infrastructure manager. Custom House was the first Elizabeth line station to be handed over to TfL last year. Crossrail confirmed last month that Tottenham Court Road and Paddington stations have reached the T-12 landmark, which means the stations are now considered to be 12 weeks away from being ready to hand over and will be the next stations to transfer to TfL. Mark Wild, Crossrail Chief Executive, said: “I am delighted that Farringdon station has been handed over to London Underground, this is a huge milestone for Crossrail. “I am proud of everyone who has worked so hard to get this magnificent new railway station over the line and we look forward to more stations reaching this stage in the coming months.” Kim Kapur, London Underground’s Head of Station Integration, said: “This is a great achievement by the both the Crossrail and London Underground teams.
