  • Sexual Harassment on the London Underground: Mobilities, Temporalities and Knowledges of Gendered Violence in Public Transport
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Sexual harassment on the London Underground: Mobilities, temporalities and knowledges of gendered violence in public transport Siân Lewis A thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Loughborough University School of Social Sciences September 2018 © By Siân Lewis 2018 2 A few more stops to Walthamstow It’s just a few more stops to Walthamstow It’s just a few more stops to Walthamstow - Poppy Bird by Bromheads Jacket 3 ABSTRACT This thesis explores women’s experiences of sexual harassment on the London Underground network. Taking a qualitative approach, 29 semi-structured interviews with women who have experienced harassment and 15 semi-structured interviews with members of the British Transport Police form the basis of this study. The originality of this thesis is two fold. Firstly, it offers an empirical analysis of women’s experiences of sexual harassment in the London Underground, in a situation where sexual harassment in public transport has mainly been studied in the Global South. Secondly, using a novel conceptual framework built around the concepts of space, mobilities and rhythm, temporalities and knowledges, this research opens up a new perspective at the intersections of feminist research on gendered violence and a mobilities perspective. The study demonstrates that: urban space and transport are experienced in a gendered way; mobilities and rhythms intertwine with space, shaping how sexual harassment is perpetrated and how women experience it in public transport; that memories and the impact of sexual harassment are negotiated over time and space, and; that knowledge of sexual harassment is situated, varying from different perspectives (victims, police), depending on how a knowledge base is constructed.

    Number 70, August 2019 It has been a productive summer, and the heatwave certainly hasn’t been the reason for this late newsletter! If everything goes to plan, there will be a choice of map books for Christmas ... Book news We can confirm that Airline Maps: A Century of Art and Design will be simultaneously released in the UK and the USA on 29th October, although it is not yet showing on the UK website. I have also just completed the manuscript for Tube Map Travels which is planned for release in late November. More details soon. Date for your diary The third Schematic Mapping Workshop will be held on 15th/ 16th April, 2021, at Universität Würzburg, Germany. The basic workshop website is complete and includes the full scope and submission timetable. The portal for submissions opens on Thursday 9th April 2020, and we are happy to take questions about these at [email protected]. Thanks to those who commented on the last logo, which is much improved. Map of the Month: Distorting topology and topography Travelling recently in unfamiliar parts of London brought home to me just how dire information design has become for TfL buses. All resources seem to have been devoted to their nannyish journey planner that might well give perfectly reasonable routes if you type in the start and end points of a journey, but not only does relying on computers in this way inhibit learning about the city and its transport network, the system also imposes on people a limited way in which they can use public transport.

  • Transport Position Statement 2016
    Annex 31 CABINET MEETING 19th JULY 2017 HAVERING LOCAL PLAN TRANSPORT POSITION STATEMENT 2016 Havering Local Plan - Transport Position Statement June 2017 1. Overview of this Transport Position Statement Why this paper has been prepared 1.1 This Transport Topic Paper has been prepared as part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and to support its delivery. It also has an important role in highlighting the major interventions and transport investment that the Council considers necessary to support the delivery of the Havering Local Plan. What the paper does 1.2 The paper sets out Havering’s transport context, challenges and strategic transport aspirations the Council believes are needed to deliver its ‘Vision’ and to support the growth and development expected over the next 15 years particularly in the main areas identified for growth in Havering (Rainham and Beam Park and Romford). 1.3 A series of background papers have also been prepared as Appendices to this paper, providing further detail on a variety of specific transport matters ranging from a policy context to the transport “make up” of the borough. 1.4 Havering recently published its “Vision” – Havering Making a Greater London. This sets out how Havering should take advantage of new opportunities for both residents and businesses in the borough. Havering’s ‘Vision’ is focussed on four cross-cutting priorities: Communities, Places, Opportunities and Connections. This paper dealing with transport has particular synergies with the Connections theme, and investment needed to Havering’s transport network to support growth and development in the borough. How Havering works with partners to take forward transport 1.5 In line with the Duty to Cooperate responsibility involved in preparing a Local Plan, the paper stresses the importance of engagement and partnership working especially with the London Mayor but also those authorities in the areas adjoining Havering and further into Essex and London to deliver improved transport infrastructure to support growth in Havering.

  • London Underground Limited
    Background Paper 1 Developing the Network 1 Introduction 1.1 Bus use has increased by over two-thirds since 1999, driven by sustained increases in the size and quality of the network, fares policy and underlying changes in London’s economy. The bus network is constantly evolving as London develops and the needs and aspirations of passengers and other stakeholders change. Enhancements take place not only to the service pattern but across all aspects of the service. • Capacity. The level of bus-km run has increased by around 40 per cent over the same period. Network capacity has increased by a faster rate, by around 55 per cent, with increases in average vehicle size. Additionally, much improved reliability means that more of the scheduled capacity is delivered to passengers. • Reliability. Effective bus contract management, in particular the introduction of Quality Incentive Contracts, has driven a transformation of reliability. This has been supported by bus priority and by the effects of the central London congestion charging scheme. Service control has been made more efficient and effective by iBus, TfL’s automatic vehicle location system. 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 Excess Wait Time (mins) 1.0 0.5 0.0 1977 1979 1981 1983 1985/86 1987/88 1989/90 1991/92 1993/94 1995/96 1997/98 1999/00 2001/02 2003/04 2005/06 2007/08 2009/10 2011/12 2013/14 Figure 1: Excess Waiting Time on high-frequency routes – since 1977 • Customer service.
