Dividing and multiplying so rapidly made the city fertile Despite its inherited haphazardness, the station has survived, ground for invention and innovation, and many technologies functioning as a critical connection point for generations have been pioneered here, including one of the world’s first of London communities, and providing a link to significant public railways and its first underground railway.

  • London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation

    London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation

    London Borough of Lewisham Response to the GTR 2018 Timetable Consultation Changes to train services Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has launched an extensive consultation which sets out proposed changes to the timetable which will be operated by GTR in 2018, following completion of the Thameslink Programme. The Council welcomes proposals to increase frequency on some lines; however, these benefits are presented alongside reductions in frequency and connectivity which the Council wish to object to. Many Lewisham residents rely heavily on train services in order to manage work, family and social life, to a greater extent than residents in many other London boroughs. It has been clear for some time that train services for the Borough are in need of substantial improvement. One example is the currently unacceptable infrequent service on trains serving Crofton Park, Catford, Bellingham and stations beyond, which has been highlighted by the 'Cinderella Line' campaign and Vicky Foxcroft MP. Our impression is that the changes to the Catford Loop services do not go far enough, nor do they align sufficiently with wider train services. Furthermore, other changes proposed, such as on the Sydenham line, have a sharply detrimental effect on residents. The Council’s response is set out according to the specific questions posed in the consultation. 14. Do you support proposals to approach engineering works differently? Please select all options you support. Whilst the focus on later services at weekends would align with the Night Tube and London’s night time economy, this should not be achieved at the cost of shorter operating hours during the week.

    13 Responses from Stakeholders

    13 Responses from stakeholders 13.1 Introduction 13.1.1 This chapter presents a summary of the responses submitted by stakeholders. As outlined in Chapter 2, stakeholders were classified by type according to their area of interest / influence. Section 13.3 identifies the different types of stakeholders represented in the questionnaire and free-format response data. 13.1.2 The most frequent type of stakeholders is business representatives. These account for over half of all stakeholder questionnaire responses (69 responses). A number of residents’ / community groups (13%), political stakeholders (8%), transport users (8%) and health stakeholders (5%) also participated in the consultation by completing the questionnaire. 13.1.3 TfL received free-format responses in the form of letters and emails from 41 different stakeholders. These responses were ‘free-format’ in the sense that they did not directly address the questions in the online questionnaire. 13.1.4 A number of political stakeholders (including MPs, councillors and political parties) responded via free-format response (18), as did London boroughs (six). Four transport groups and three campaign groups are also represented in the free-format summaries. 13.1.5 This chapter presents the analysis of stakeholder responses to the closed questions in the online questionnaire and a summary of the free-format stakeholder responses. 13.2 Closed questionnaire responses 13.2.1 As shown in Figure 13-1, the majority (95%) of stakeholders expressed support or strong support for the principle of extending the Bakerloo line into southeast London from its current end point at Elephant & Castle (Question 5). 13.2.2 The majority (86%) of stakeholders stated that they support the extension on the basis that it would enable new development in southeast London.

    Modernised Depot to Transform Great Northern Rail Services

    13 December 2016 Modernised depot to transform Great Northern rail services Great Northern passengers are set to see a transformation in rail services with the completion of an enlarged, modernised train depot in north London, which is now one of the biggest in the UK. The traincare centre at Hornsey in north London will house and maintain a £1bn- worth of new train fleets and make possible a new, high intensity Thameslink service from Great Northern stations across central London to London Bridge, Gatwick and beyond as part of the government-sponsored Thameslink Programme. Hornsey now boasts a new state-of-the-art maintenance building, built by Siemens using main contractor Volker-Fitzpatrick, large new sidings and improved servicing for the following additional modern trains which Great Northern’s parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) will run: • Class 387 trains for Great Northern services between London King’s Cross and Peterborough, Cambridge and King’s Lynn (entering service now) • Class 700 trains for new Thameslink services across London to the south from many Great Northern stations between the capital and Peterborough and Cambridge (trains arrive on Great Northern in 2017 and begin running as Thameslink in 2018) • Class 717 trains for Great Northern suburban services from Welwyn Garden City, Hertford and Stevenage to and from Moorgate in the City of London (arriving late 2018) All these trains will have air-conditioning, the latest passenger information systems, wheelchair accessible toilets and other features for passengers with disabilities. Hornsey will also become a centre of excellence for apprenticeship schemes run there by both GTR and Siemens.
