Barking Riverside Extension – Factsheet H Public Consultation and Engagement Barking Riverside Extension – Factsheet H Public consultation and engagement Introduction Transport for London (TfL) is proposing a 4km extension (1.5km of new track) of the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line to Barking Riverside. The service would operate from Gospel Oak along the existing route to Barking before crossing the London Underground and National Rail lines west of Barking Station. It would use the existing grade separated flyover, (currently used by freight services to access the Tilbury line from the Gospel Oak to Barking line), to serve platforms 7 and 8 at Barking station. Eastbound services from Barking would continue for just over 2km along the Tilbury line, used by freight and by c2c services operating between Fenchurch Street and Grays. Services would then spur to a new section of railway approximately 180m to the west of Renwick Road, before continuing east under Renwick Road Bridge and along a raised viaduct, crossing the Tilbury lines, freight terminal and Choats Road. Services would continue south, terminating at a new station at Barking Riverside. The westbound line from Barking Riverside would run in parallel along the viaduct as far as Renwick Road. It would then continue along the track alignment of the former westbound Tilbury freight line, merging with the westbound Tilbury passenger line, approximately 500m east of Barking station. The role of public consultation Public consultation forms part of the guidance on taking schemes through the Transport and Works Act (TWA) 1992 process. Consultation enables affected parties to contribute to the development of a project at an early stage, improving the project and avoiding unnecessary objections following submission of an application. The winter 2015 public consultation is the third round of consultation undertaken by TfL before submitting a TWA Order application in early 2016. 2014 public consultation In autumn 2014 TfL consulted on the principle of a London Overground extension to Barking Riverside. The consultation received 715 responses, with 90 per cent of respondents replying that they supported the scheme in principle. A copy of the 2014 consultation report is available at tfl.gov.uk/barking-riverside. In addition to establishing levels of support, the consultation enabled TfL to identify some key issues at an early stage which would need to be addressed during the planning phase of the scheme. These included: 1 • Whether an intermediate station could be included between Barking station and the proposed new station at Barking Riverside • Whether the extension could continue south of the River Thames to Thamesmead and Abbey Wood • How a four train an hour London Overground service could be accommodated by the Tilbury line, currently used by c2c trains and freight • What the implications might be for Barking Station, with additional passengers from Barking Riverside alighting or changing trains Spring 2015 public consultation A second public consultation was undertaken in spring 2015. TfL received 600 responses, again with 90 per cent support in principle. TfL also asked for views on two route alignments. Details of the route alignments are provided in the spring 2015 consultation report, available at tfl.gov.uk/barking-riverside. Of the respondents who expressed a route preference, nine per cent said they preferred option A, 55 per cent said they preferred option B, 28 per cent had no preference and eight per cent did not support either option. The consultation provided TfL with an opportunity to address the issues previously raised. It also identified new issues: • The impacts on existing residents, particularly those who do not currently have a railway next to their property • One of the alignments presented, Alignment B, allowed for passive provision of an intermediate station in the future, subject to funding and future demand. Some consultees would have preferred an intermediate station to be delivered with the BRE scheme The answers to questions raised during the first two rounds of public consultation are published on the winter 2015 consultation website. The feedback received during the consultation was considered alongside an assessment of the operational and environmental impacts associated with two alignment options, which concluded Alignment B as the preferred route. Winter 2015 consultation Following the decision on a route alignment, TfL was able to identify indicative construction compound locations, potential lorry routes and propose the extent of the land required to construct and operate the extension. TfL is now consulting on the proposed scheme before finishing the TWA Order application, prior to submitting the application in early 2016. The consultation finishes on 24 January 2016. 2 The TWAO application A TWAO application comprises a number of documents including a draft of the proposed Order, with supporting plans, an Environmental Statement ES, and a summary report of the consultation carried out. Public inquiry Once TfL applies for the TWAO, there will be a statutory 42 day period where representations, supporting comments or objections can be submitted to the Secretary of State for Transport. The Secretary of State is likely to require a local public inquiry into the proposals, and will appoint an independent inspector to conduct the public inquiry. Should a local public inquiry be required, TfL expects that it would take place at a point in 2016 and would be conducted over a period of several weeks. The public inquiry procedure is explained in factsheet F – Transport and Works Act Order process. Ongoing public engagement TfL will continue to engage with those affected by the scheme in the lead up to the TWAO submission. Should powers be granted, TfL would continue to engage throughout the delivery of the Barking Riverside Extension. Along with the contractors, TfL would engage with local residents and businesses throughout the works to construct the railway. This could range from establishing community liaison groups, and providing newsletter updates to holding drop-in information and feedback sessions.

This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

  • Barking Riverside Extension – Factsheet C Viaduct
    Barking Riverside Extension – Factsheet C Viaduct Proposed route alignment Transport for London (TfL) is proposing a 4km extension (1.5km of new track) of the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line to Barking Riverside. The service would operate from Gospel Oak along the existing route to Barking before crossing the London Underground and National Rail lines west of Barking station. It would use the existing grade separated flyover, (currently used by freight services to access the Tilbury line from the Gospel Oak to Barking line), to serve platforms 7 and 8 at Barking station. Eastbound services from Barking would continue for just over 2km along the Tilbury line, used by freight and by c2c services operating between Fenchurch Street and Grays. Services would then spur to a new section of railway approximately 180m to the west of Renwick Road, before continuing east under Renwick Road Bridge. At this point the alignment would climb on a viaduct at a gradient of 2.5 per cent curving south towards Barking Riverside. As the alignment crosses the freight terminal, westbound Tilbury lines, and Choats Road the viaduct would reach a height of 10.5m. It would then descend to a height of 3.5m to pass under the existing high voltage power line south of Choats Road. The alignment would then ascend and continue towards a station at Barking Riverside, which would lie 7.5m above ground level. The westbound line from Barking Riverside would run in parallel along the viaduct as far as Renwick Road. It would then continue along the track alignment of the former westbound Tilbury freight line, merging with the westbound Tilbury passenger line, approximately 500m east of Barking station.
