While we continue to ensure that today’s public transport services are safe, accessible and attractive, it is, of course, essential that we plan for London’s future. London is growing rapidly, so steady and sustained Sadiq Khan investment is vital. That’s why I Mayor of London have been joined by politicians and businesses in making the compelling case for Crossrail 2 and starting consultation on the extension of the Bakerloo line. In October, I published plans for four new river crossings in east London, prioritising links that encourage the use of public transport, walking and cycling. I am conscious of the perception that London benefits from infrastructure investment at the expense of other regions of the country. My view on this is clear; investment is not a question of one region benefiting over others. Particularly post-Brexit, all regions must have steady and sustained investment to generate jobs, housing and economic growth.

  • 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.

  • Investigation Into Reliability of the Jubilee Line
    Investigation into Reliability: London Underground Jubilee Line An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By Jack Arnis Agolli Marianna Bailey Errando Berwin Jayapurna Yiannis Kaparos Date: 26 April 2017 Report Submitted to: Malcolm Dobell CPC Project Services Professors Rosenstock and Hall-Phillips Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract Metro systems are often faced with reliability issues; specifically pertaining to safety, accessibility, train punctuality, and stopping accuracy. The project goal was to assess the reliability of the London Underground’s Jubilee Line and the systems implemented during the Jubilee Line extension. The team achieved this by interviewing train drivers and Transport for London employees, surveying passengers, validating the stopping accuracy of the trains, measuring dwell times, observing accessibility and passenger behavior on platforms with Platform Edge Doors, and overall train performance patterns. ii Acknowledgements We would currently like to thank everyone who helped us complete this project. Specifically we would like to thank our sponsor Malcolm Dobell for his encouragement, expert advice, and enthusiasm throughout the course of the project. We would also like to thank our contacts at CPC Project Services, Gareth Davies and Mehmet Narin, for their constant support, advice, and resources provided during the project.

  • Thames Tideway Tunnel Interim Measures to Reduce Infraction Fines
    Thames Tideway Tunnel Interim measures to reduce infraction fines. Working draft 5th February 2013 Report By Professor Chris Binnie MA, DIC, HonDEng, FREng, FICE, FCIWEM 2013 Brockwell, Wootton Courtenay, Minehead Somerset TA24 8RN Tideway tunnel interim scheme 28 8 12 1 Executive summary Any long term solution to the Thames Tideway CSO problems would take many years to implement, so I propose interim measures to much improve the Tideway within two to three years. The European Commission has taken out infraction proceedings against the UK for slow implementation of the UWWTD. The European Court of Justice has found against the UK on the Thames Tideway. Thus it is likely that infraction fines will be imposed. My information is that these could be substantial, based on the current tunnel completion date of 2023 as high as Euros 2.0 bn. I am advised that they would be based partly on the “Environmental impact of non-compliance “. A reduction of one point out of five points on the “environmental impact of non-compliance” or “member state conduct”might save as much as Euro 200 million, about £160m. Standards for ecology, aesthetics, and health impact have been set for the Tideway. The current STW improvements, and the Lee Tunnel would reduce the spill volume from 39Mm3/year to about 18Mm3/years, a long way to achieving the dissolved oxygen standards. However the Thames Tideway Tunnel will not be operational until about 2023. Thus interim measures could be implemented to reduce “the environmental impact of non-compliance” until the tunnel is operational. The object of these interim measures would not be to meet the standards set for the Tideway but to mitigate the environmental impact to the extent that the substantial fines would be reduced.
