    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.

  • Case Study: Looking After Customers
    Case Study: Looking after customers Focus on the customer Recommendations for future projects to improve the delivery of infrastructure projects to maintain a focus on customers Throughout the Thameslink Programme the top priority was to look after customers through: • maintaining train service capacity wherever possible • understanding the touch points prior to, during and after journeys • identifying the best journey options • providing an excellent communications campaign covering each stage of the programme • highlighting the benefits achieved – ‘This is why… ‘ • providing ticket acceptance on alternative routes and types of transport • recruiting additional staff to assist during the major engineering works • encouraging volunteers from the Train Operating Companies (TOCs), Network Rail and Department for Transport to assist. Maintaining train service capacity where possible For each of the stages of the programme which required changes in train services both during engineering works and post the network changes, the TOCs and Network Rail focused on passenger numbers and journeys with emphasis on the peak hours of travel to develop timetables providing required capacity. Major timetable changes, for example the Charing Cross run-throughs, where trains to Charing Cross did not stop at London Bridge station between January 2015 and August 2016 and the Cannon Street run-throughs, where trains to Cannon Street did not stop at London Bridge station between 29 August 2016 to January 2018 were fully consulted along with the May 2018 timetable changes. A marketing campaign ‘Times are changing’ was run; https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/travel-information/live-travel-information/may-timetable This covers details of the Southeastern May 2018 Timetable Consultation Response.
