Chapter 2 Route Window NE1 Stratford station Transport for London STRATFORD STATION 2.6 There is one worksite associated with this route window: Stratford Station Worksite. It is on 2 Route Window NE1 railway land about 100 m east of the station building. Access is from Meridian Square from the Stratford station A11 Great Eastern Road. The location is shown on Map NE1 (iv). 2.7 The works are expected to take about 17 weeks, during which time rail passengers will be unaffected. The drawings provided at the end of this chapter present the main features of the route window, construction lorry routes assessed, existing facilities in the vicinity of Stratford station and transport linkages. Baseline conditions Transport 2.8 This route window lies in the London Borough of Newham and is in Travelcard zone 3. The area for London surrounding the station is mainly commercial; the Stratford Shopping Centre lies across Great Eastern Road from the station. Introduction 2.1 The activities in this route window are associated with the works at Stratford station. The high- level station is used at present by One Railway, Central line and DLR, with North London Line and Jubilee line trains serving the station at the low level. 2.2 Island platform 3/4/5 is used by a number of operators. Platform 3 is used by the London Underground westbound Central line; platform 4 (finger platform) is a DLR terminus; and platform 5 is used by the One Railway stopping service. 2.3 Island platform 6/7/8 is also used by a number of operators. Platform 6 is used by the London Underground eastbound Central line, platform 7 (finger platform) is currently unused (it was to be used for a service proposed, but never introduced, to Fenchurch Street station), and platform 8 is served by the One Railway stopping service. Platforms 9, 10, 11 and 12 are used by One Railway. 2.4 Crossrail and One Railway peak services will use platforms 5 and 8. Platform 4 will be abolished Figure 2.1 Station entrance on Meridian Square and filled in to provide additional width to the western end of platform 5.

New and faster direct travel 2.10 The station entrance is located on Meridian Square, reached from A11 Great Eastern Road (see opportunities will be available from the City, West End, and points west to Maidenhead and fig. 2.1). The square provides facilities for ‘kiss and ride’, coaches and taxis as shown in fig. 2.2. Heathrow. Table 2.1 gives typical journey time improvements. NE1 page 3 ROUTE WINDOW NE1 2.20 The Stratford City Development has now received planning consent from Newham Council. The development is located to the north of Stratford Station and will be integrated with the station through a new station entrance. It is proposed to begin construction of Stratford City in 2006, with the town centre completed by 2009 and the following development phases completed by 2020. 2.21 The 2016 baseline assumes that the DLR will have taken over the North London line services between Canning Town and Stratford and will have been extended north to Stratford Inter- national station. North London Line services would be diverted, possibly to new platform or platforms immediately northwest of platform 12 in the main station. The permanent works 2.22 The Stratford station worksite is required to facilitate the removal of the existing DLR service from platform 4 (and its associated relocation), to allow for the creation of a wider waiting area for the adjacent platform 5. It is intended that the track alongside platform 4 will be removed and the land filled in to provide a wider and safer Crossrail platform, which could house a waiting room and other platform furniture. 2.23 Some refurbishment works in addition to the fitting of new platform furniture will also be undertaken on the platforms.

Other factors are system around Stratford town centre. the low level of use of this station and its proximity to Stratford station. During peak hours, however, this station will still be served by trains from Liverpool Street. 2.12 Stratford station is very well served by bus services. The bus station (immediately south of the ticket hall) is served by numerous bus routes and the taxi rank can accommodate up to 8 vehicles. Worksite assessment 2.13 There is no on-street or off-street parking available for commuters at the station. The shopping centre car park opposite the station is priced to appeal to short-stay parking only.

Rail passengers at Stratford are expected to experience significant journey time benefits. These are discussed below. 2.34 Crossrail trains will not stop at Maryland station and train services will be removed in the off- peak period. Maryland station will retain its service in the peak periods. Although improved transport links are proposed to Stratford it is likely that journey times to and from Maryland in the off-peak periods will increase and that there will be a permanent residual impact. Impact on rail journey times 2.35 The following table sets out representative journey time savings between Stratford and selected stations during the morning peak period.

    History of the East London Line

    HISTORY OF THE EAST LONDON LINE – FROM BRUNEL’S THAMES TUNNEL TO THE LONDON OVERGROUND by Oliver Green A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Club House on 11 October 2011 Oliver worked at the London Transport Museum for many years and was one of the team who set up the Covent Garden museum in 1980. He left in 1989 to continue his museum career in Colchester, Poole and Buckinghamshire before returning to LTM in 2001 to work on its recent major refurbishment and redisplay in the role of Head Curator. He retired from this post in 2009 but has been granted an honorary Research Fellowship and continues to assist the museum in various projects. He is currently working with LTM colleagues on a new history of the Underground which will be published by Penguin in October 2012 as part of LU’s 150th anniversary celebrations for the opening of the Met [Bishops Road to Farringdon Street 10 January 1863.] The early 1800s saw various schemes to tunnel under the River Thames, including one begun in 1807 by Richard Trevithick which was abandoned two years later when the workings were flooded. This was started at Rotherhithe, close to the site later chosen by Marc Isambard Brunel for his Thames Tunnel. In 1818, inspired by the boring technique of shipworms he had studied while working at Chatham Dockyard, Brunel patented a revolutionary method of digging through soft ground using a rectangular shield. His giant iron shield was divided into 12 independently moveable protective frames, each large enough for a miner to work in.

    Passenger Focus' Response to C2c's Proposed Franchise Extension July

    Passenger Focus’ response to c2c’s proposed franchise extension July 2008 Passenger Focus – who we are and what we do Passenger Focus is the independent national rail consumer watchdog. It is an executive non- departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Transport. Our mission is to get the best deal for Britain's rail passengers. We have two main aims: to influence both long and short term decisions and issues that affect passengers and to help passengers through advice, advocacy and empowerment. With a strong emphasis on evidence-based campaigning and research, we ensure that we know what is happening on the ground. We use our knowledge to influence decisions on behalf of rail passengers and we work with the rail industry, other passenger groups and Government to secure journey improvements. Our vision is to ensure that the rail industry and Government are always ‘putting rail passengers first’ This will be achieved through our mission of ‘getting the best deal for passengers’ 1 Contents 1.

Introduction Passenger Focus welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Department for Transport’s (DfT) consultation on the proposal to extend c2c’s franchise by two years. Although the consultation process has not been formally set out we were aware of informal discussions for an extension since last year. We view the extension proposal as a very good opportunity for the c2c franchise to be revitalised with a fresh mandate to develop and improve operational performance as well as customer services.

    ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council.
