    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.

  • Growth Commission Report
    Crossrail 2 Delivering Growth in London and the South East report by the Crossrail 2 Growth Commission 1 Foreword By Sir Merrick Cockell The Growth Commission has explored a wide range of issues associated with the planning and delivery of the scheme. We have tried to learn from past infrastructure schemes that have been primarily transport-led. We are extremely grateful to all those who have taken the time to meet with us and contribute to our work. This report has used this evidence to arrive at its key findings and to make a series of recommendations to ensure that Crossrail 2 can deliver this potential. We believe that Crossrail 2’s projections for job and housing growth are eminently achievable, and indeed that the scheme could help deliver substantially larger targets. To achieve that, though, policymakers need to grapple with several core issues around land use planning, density of development and how new housing is delivered in tandem with the railway. The National Infrastructure Commission’s report and Crossrail 2 is an essential new infrastructure the Government’s response earlier this year gave strong project for London and the South East. But it support to Crossrail 2. As a result, development work is now forging ahead, with a Hybrid Bill to seek powers is much more than simply a new railway. As expected in Parliament in 2019. This is enormously well as transforming connectivity and journey positive news.

Notes 46 Terms of reference The Transport Committee agreed the following terms of reference for an investigation into National Rail services in London at its meeting on 9 June 2015. To consider major problems facing the rail network in London and how these could be addressed. To examine the case for devolving more National Rail services to the Mayor and Transport for London, and different models of devolution that may be used. To identify steps the Mayor and Transport for London could take to help achieve further devolution of National Rail services. 2 Foreword Rail passengers in London are fed up. Far too often their trains are late or cancelled, and when they do arrive they might be too crowded to board. To make matters worse, the cost of rail travel in London has been increasing above inflation for a decade. In a rapidly growing city, struggling with road congestion and traffic-based air pollution, an efficient public transport network is of vital importance. Yet London’s rail network could be more effectively run and make much better use of our constrained track infrastructure.

Further information is available from http://www.london.gov.uk/londonissues/environment.jsp This document is printed on Revive Silk - 100 per cent de-inked post consumer waste paper. Foreword by Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London It is almost impossible to exaggerate the danger of climate change. I have no doubt that it is the single biggest threat to the future development of human civilisation. When scientists talk of the threat of catastrophic climate change they don’t just mean the inconvenience of extra flooding or the Tube being unbearably hot in summer. If no action is taken to cut carbon emissions we face temperature rises of over five degrees towards the end of this century. It took a temperature drop of just five degrees to cause the last ice-age, so the impact of a temperature increase of the same level would be profound. The map of the world would be changed beyond recognition as sea levels rise, and hundreds of millions of people would be displaced by drought, starvation and the increased ferocity of extreme weather events. © Liane Harris Collectively, we have been complacent about global warming for far too long. It is 10 years since the Kyoto Protocol was signed and still global carbon emissions continue to rise.
