    Joint Performance Improvement Update Period 1 (2018-19) This report gives progress on the joint improvement plan for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and Network Rail with punctuality data by route, as well as the main operational issues in the period (there are 13, 4-week reporting periods per year), and planned customer improvements. PPM* statistics and delay responsibility by route – Period 1 (to 28 April 2018) Gatwick Express Great Northern Southern Thameslink *The public performance measure (PPM) data above shows the percentage of trains which arrive at their terminating station within five minutes of the planned arrival time. It combines figures for punctuality and reliability into a single performance measure. A summary of key issues affecting performance in this period In period 1, GTR’s PPM was 85.2% with the main incidents affecting performance being the emergency services dealing with incidents near South Croydon on 7 and 19 April, these services dealing with an incident near Cricklewood on 3 April, a track circuit failure near Hornsey on 19 April and a vehicle striking a bridge near East Croydon on 11 April. The PPM for each of the brands for this period was: Gatwick Express 79.01%, Great Northern 87.33%, Southern 83.49% and Thameslink 89.33%. Delivering improvements for passengers Thameslink Class 700s There are 71 class 700 trains in regular service between Brighton and London Bridge or Bedford; between Wimbledon, Sutton, St Albans and Luton; on the Sevenoaks route and between Horsham / Littlehampton and London. Performance Strategy Huge investment is being put into the railway which will ultimately deliver more capacity through new and longer trains at the end of the Thameslink programme in 2018, as well as a transformed station at London Bridge.

    Rail Vehicle Accessibility: Exemption Application London Trams Table of Contents Foreword..............................................................................................................................3 Passenger Doorway Audible Warning Devices.................................................................4 Internal Passenger Information Displays ..........................................................................8 Handrail Clearances, Door Lighting, Floor Obstruction .................................................12 Page 2 of 17 Foreword The 24 Bombardier CR4000 trams entered service in 2000 at which time the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (RVAR) 1998 was in force, with the newer 12 Stadler Variobahn trams entering service in 2012, 2015 and 2016. RVAR 2010 came into force on 6th April 2010. The following year Transport for London (TfL) commissioned a review of the Bombardier CR4000 fleet against the Requirements of RVAR 2010. Since the 2011 review several work streams have been carried out to make modifications to the trams to address the areas of non-compliance. However due to the prioritisation of maintenance activities to ensure availability of the required number of trams to meet service each day and safety related works; all the necessary modifications to the trams have not taken place. Operating within tight budgetary constraints has also led to the de-scoping of works items, and often meant the non- availability of budget for works to take place. A further review against the Requirements was performed in August 2019, during which several of the open items on the Bombardier CR4000 were closed, with a few remaining non-compliant. A few instances of non-compliance were also noted on the newer Stadler Trams. Subsequently London Trams has compiled the following application for time limited and permanent exemptions against the remaining areas of non-compliance against the Requirements.
