A Rail Manifesto for London
A Rail Manifesto for London The new covered walkway linking Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations creates an interchange which provides a better connection and more journey opportunities March 2016 A Rail Manifesto for London Railfuture1 seeks to inform and influence the development of transport policies and practices nationally and locally. We offer candidates for the 2016 London Mayoral and Assembly elections this manifesto2, which represents a distillation of the electorate’s aspirations for a developing railway for London, for delivery during the next four years or to be prepared for delivery during the following period of office. Executive Summary Recognising the importance of all rail-based transport to the economy of London and to its residents, commuters and visitors alike, Railfuture wishes to see holistic and coherent rail services across all of London, integrated with all other public transport, with common fares and conditions. Achieving this is covered by the following 10 policy themes: 1. Services in London the Mayor should take over. The 2007 transfer of some National Rail services to TfL has been a huge success, transforming some of the worst services in London into some of the best performing. Railfuture believes it is right that the Mayor should take over responsibility for more rail services in London, either by transferring service operation to TfL or by TfL specifying service levels to the operator, and that this must benefit all of London. 2. Improved Services. Frequencies play an important role in the success of metro and suburban train services. We believe that the Mayor should set out the minimum standards of service levels across London seven days per week for all rail services. -

For London and the South East there has been last November’s Call for Evidence on London’s Transport Infrastructure, to which Railfuture responded in January, and which in March resulted in two reports: ‘Transport for a World City’ and, from an independent panel of experts, the supporting ‘Review of the case for large scale transport investment in London’ both of which include a specific focus on Crossrail 2. The NIC calls for a hybrid bill deposit in autumn 2019 for line opening in 2033, to coincide with HS2 opening to Leeds and Manchester and the need for the double- ended Euston St. Pancras station to add distribution capacity. It also advocates deferral of the £4billion New Southgate branch, noting that it would enable the proposed eastern extension to be considered when the Lea Bridge station – looking south, towards Stratford second phase of the scheme is planned. It “would be more expensive, but could bring greater overall This is the culmination of a campaign which local benefits, particularly in relation to its impacts in Railfuture members, individual and affiliated, can justly unlocking housing and economic growth in the east of claim as their own. -

Week 10 Monday 7 May All Day Transport
Week 10 Monday 7 May all day Transport 29 Feb 2019 Respondent Number: 2145 (John Cox) Contents: (1) Comments on ‘Minor Suggested Change’ MSC.10.21 (2) Comments on Matter M76 ============================================= (1) ‘MINOR SUGGESTED CHANGE’ MSC.10.21 There is a ‘Minor Suggested Change’ MSC.10.21 in T3 Table 10.1, currently adding the wording: “London Overground Extension – West London Orbital” That wording is opposed, because it does not, as claimed, provide “Consistency with other GLA Strategies”. I suggest (given the need for enforced brevity in the table) new wording: “Infrastructure improvements on West London Orbital route, including for a London Overground Extension” Specific improvements on the WLO route are still being studied by the ‘West London Alliance’ of boroughs and by TfL - for instance, whether to fully electrify the route, remove existing level crossings, or replace and widen bridges. Nevertheless, there are certain to be significant infrastructure improvements, particularly on the northern section, the Dudding Hill freight line between LB Ealing at Old Oak Common, via LB Brent just south of Wembley, to LB Barnet at Brent Cross Cricklewood. One result of physical improvements is the chance to add completely new London Overground services. However, there are other benefits of this investment - the railway can more efficiently handle freight traffic (supporting policies SI8, SI10, and T7) and can provide a new passenger route for longer-distance, non-London Overground, south-east regional trains (supporting policy T1), stopping at London’s opportunity areas. The replacement wording above is more positively prepared and justified than the original, and more effectively based on joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities. -

Draft London Plan: Examination in Public Matter M76 – Transport Schemes and Development Written Statement by the West London Alliance 1
DRAFT LONDON PLAN: EXAMINATION IN PUBLIC MATTER M76 – TRANSPORT SCHEMES AND DEVELOPMENT WRITTEN STATEMENT BY THE WEST LONDON ALLIANCE 1. Introduction 1.1 This statement is submitted by the West London Alliance (WLA) on behalf of its member authorities: Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon and Hounslow. It deals specifically with the West London Orbital (WLO) London Overground extension, a scheme included in Table 10.1 in the draft London Plan (DLP). It explains how the WLO is necessary to the development of West London envisaged by the DLP and the work done to date to take the project forward, including on funding. It concludes by suggesting some changes to DLP wording, mostly to reflect developments since the original drafting. 2. The West London Orbital Line 2.1 The WLO proposal is for a heavy rail link with a central core between South Acton and Neasden with two branch options at either end – to Hendon/West Hampstead in the north and Hounslow/Kew Bridge to the south. It will involve bringing back into passenger use a 6.4 km length of track currently used for freight (the Dudding Hill Line). 2.2 The WLO will directly link three key opportunity areas (OAs) identified in the DLP: Brent Cross/Cricklewood, Old Oak/Park Royal and the Great West Corridor (see figure 1). It will also significantly improve accessibility to the Wembley and Harrow and Wealdstone OAs. It will serve Hounslow (a DLP metropolitan centre) and DLP district centres at Acton, Harlesden, Neasden, Cricklewood (all identified as regeneration priorities in the DLP) and Brentford.
