The Operator's Story Appendix
Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: London’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from London Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in London. 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. -

Walks Programme: July to September 2021
LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below. -

Chapter Four – a Good Public Transport Experience
A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXPERIENCE 129 Chapter four – A good public transport experience London has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world, with more than 9 million trips made every day by bus, tram, Tube, train and river boat. Use of the public transport system has increased by 65 per cent since 2000, largely because of enhanced services and an improved customer experience. An easy to use and accessible public transport system is an essential part of the Healthy Streets Approach as it gives people alternatives to car use for journeys that are not possible on foot or by cycle. By providing the most efficient and affordable option for journeys that are either impractical or too long to walk or cycle, public transport has helped to reduce Londoners’ dependency on cars during the past 15 years and this trend must continue.

Bakerloo Line Explanatory Note
THE RAIL VEHICLE ACCESSIBILITY (NON-INTEROPERABLE RAIL SYSTEM) (LONDON UNDERGROUND BAKERLOO LINE 72 TUBE STOCK) EXEMPTION ORDER 2019 Explanatory Note What does the Order do? 1. The Order exempts rail vehicles operated on the line known as the Bakerloo Line by London Underground Limited (LUL) from certain requirements under the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 (“RVAR 2010”). The Order is made by the Secretary of State in exercise of powers conferred by sections 183(1), (2), 4(b), (5) and 207(1) and (4) of the Equality Act 2010. The Secretary of State’s decision to exercise powers in section 183(4)(b) instead of powers in section 183(4)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 is because the Secretary of State thinks it is appropriate to include articles 4 to 8 in the Order which outlines conditions and time limits on the exemptions as set out below. 2. The exemptions will apply to the vehicles from 1st January 2020 until 2am on 1st January 2024 at the latest. What requirements does this exemption cover? 3. This exemption covers the requirement to provide a boarding device (e.g. ramp) between the doorway and the platform at all platforms that do not have any level boarding, the requirement for flooring at the doorways to contrast with the flooring in the saloon, the requirement for single band of colour on the floor running parallel with the door along its full width, the requirement to provide a vertical handrail on both sides of all doors, the requirement for all handrails to have a cross section with a diameter of not less than 30mm, the requirement to make ‘next stop’ audible announcements when the train is stationary at a platform, the requirement to have a public address system for visual announcements in all vehicles and the requirement to have wheelchair spaces that comply with the RVAR 2010. -
