    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.

  • Family History Research at London Transport Museum

    Family History Research at London Transport Museum

    Family history research at London Transport Museum Introduction This factsheet is for family historians researching ancestors who have connections with public transport in London. Many thousands of people have been employed across the different modes of transport over the years, but unfortunately relatively few records survive because there is no business or statutory requirement to keep them beyond a few years. The guide to sources below is designed to help you identify surviving records that may be related to your research. It tells you where they are located and how you can access them. Questions at the end of this factsheet may also help you get started on your family history journey. Museum Library London Transport Museum Library, Albany House, 98 Petty France, London SW1H 9EA You may want to visit the Library as part of your research. Information about our collection and how to contact us or arrange a visit is on our Library page on the Museum website. Where to start To find relevant staff records, you first need to identify which company your ancestor might have worked for and the years when they may have been employed there. The London Passenger Transport Board (also known as London Transport) was formed in 1933. Before then, public transport in London was run by many different companies operating the buses, trams and underground railway lines. You might know your ancestor’s job from a certificate or photograph. If you know where they lived in London, you could use that as a starting point to identify their employer. Be aware though that in the past people often walked long distances to go to work.

    Tfl Corporate Archive Top 20 Records

    LT000605/005 - Description of the New Administrative Offices of the Underground Group of Companies By the late 1920s, the Underground Electric Railways Companies of London Ltd was anxious to house all of its ‘head office’ staff in one new purpose-built office block on the site of the old Metropolitan District Railway offices above St James’s Park station. The plans developed by Adams, Holden and Pearson, the architects commissioned by the Group, were radical: • 55 Broadway would be the tallest office building in London; • there would be a cruciform design - in place of the customary hollow rectangle format – which would offer staff more natural daylight in wings projecting from a central core housing lifts, staircases and essential services; and • Contemporary artists would be invited to sculpt decorative features directly onto the stone facade. As detailed in this reprint of a 1929 brochure about the building, 55 Broadway was constructed between 1927 and 1929. 700 reinforced concrete piles sunk to an average depth of 40 feet below basement level support the building. Nineteen load-bearing steel girders span the railway, and special insulation was used to reduce vibration from the trains. Above ground, the building was constructed around a steel girder skeleton and faced with 78,000 cubic feet of high quality Portland stone. The building has a bold appearance, enhanced by progressive stepping back above the sixth, eighth and ninth floors – giving an uneven pyramid effect. The clock tower, 174 feet high, has a similar stepped back effect. Granite for the ground floor came from Norway whilst the Travertine marble used in the interior came from Italy.
  • Chapter Four – a Good Public Transport Experience

    Chapter Four – a Good Public Transport Experience

    A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXPERIENCE 129 Chapter four – A good public transport experience London has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world, with more than 9 million trips made every day by bus, tram, Tube, train and river boat. Use of the public transport system has increased by 65 per cent since 2000, largely because of enhanced services and an improved customer experience. An easy to use and accessible public transport system is an essential part of the Healthy Streets Approach as it gives people alternatives to car use for journeys that are not possible on foot or by cycle. By providing the most efficient and affordable option for journeys that are either impractical or too long to walk or cycle, public transport has helped to reduce Londoners’ dependency on cars during the past 15 years and this trend must continue.

  • Bakerloo Line Explanatory Note

    Bakerloo Line Explanatory Note

    THE RAIL VEHICLE ACCESSIBILITY (NON-INTEROPERABLE RAIL SYSTEM) (LONDON UNDERGROUND BAKERLOO LINE 72 TUBE STOCK) EXEMPTION ORDER 2019 Explanatory Note What does the Order do? 1. The Order exempts rail vehicles operated on the line known as the Bakerloo Line by London Underground Limited (LUL) from certain requirements under the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 (“RVAR 2010”). The Order is made by the Secretary of State in exercise of powers conferred by sections 183(1), (2), 4(b), (5) and 207(1) and (4) of the Equality Act 2010. The Secretary of State’s decision to exercise powers in section 183(4)(b) instead of powers in section 183(4)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 is because the Secretary of State thinks it is appropriate to include articles 4 to 8 in the Order which outlines conditions and time limits on the exemptions as set out below. 2. The exemptions will apply to the vehicles from 1st January 2020 until 2am on 1st January 2024 at the latest. What requirements does this exemption cover? 3. This exemption covers the requirement to provide a boarding device (e.g. ramp) between the doorway and the platform at all platforms that do not have any level boarding, the requirement for flooring at the doorways to contrast with the flooring in the saloon, the requirement for single band of colour on the floor running parallel with the door along its full width, the requirement to provide a vertical handrail on both sides of all doors, the requirement for all handrails to have a cross section with a diameter of not less than 30mm, the requirement to make ‘next stop’ audible announcements when the train is stationary at a platform, the requirement to have a public address system for visual announcements in all vehicles and the requirement to have wheelchair spaces that comply with the RVAR 2010.

  • Contactless Payments Travel Well in London

    Contactless Payments Travel Well in London

    Mastercard Transit Solutions CASE STUDY Contactless payments travel well in London With more than half of all Tube, bus and rail journeys now paid for using Contactless, the pay-as-you-go technology is powering a more convenient commute across London. Overview Each day, more than 31 million journeys take place on the trains, buses and Underground Tube™ of London. Transport for London (TfL) runs the public transportation network for one of the world’s busiest cities. TfL manages the varied systems that move Londoners—and millions of visitors—safely and efficiently to their destinations. For more than a decade, TfL has used Oyster, a pre-loaded contactless smartcard, as its ticketless payment system for fares on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail, Emirates Air Line and most National Rail services in London. Doing so has eliminated the need to use cash to pay for fares, helping to reduce long queues during peak travel times. Over time, however, rapidly changing technology, and a wider desire for more accessible and connected system signaled an upgrade was in order. Challenge For daily commuters, the Oyster smart ticketing system is easy and convenient to use. Commuters can pre-purchase a weekly, annual or monthly pass in stations, retail outlets “We wanted to give people and—for UK residents only— online. The passes mean the independence to pay for commuters can travel within the specified area for the relevant period without the need to re-load their cards. transit in exactly the same Plus, they can pay as they go, with the option to authorise automatic replenishment when their credit balance way they pay for everything approaches zero.
  • London Life Hack: Joanna's Journeys

    London Life Hack: Joanna's Journeys

    London Life Hack: Joanna’s journeys Hi! I’m Joanna and I’m a Study Abroad Peer Advisor. In the four years that I have been living in London, I have spent a lot of time on the tube, on buses and on trains. Keep reading for my tips for getting around the city (and beyond!) like a true Londoner! Recognise this? Chances are, you’ll see a lot of this map during your time in London. It’s the Transport for London underground map – or TFL as you’ll get used to calling it. At first, it may look confusing but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to understand. The map is split into different tube lines according to colour, such as the black Northern Line or the grey Jubilee Line. The map also displays the different zones of the underground system, starting with zone 1 which is central London, up to zone 9 (I have to say, I have never ventured this far!) Peak times are Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 09:30 and 16:00 to 19:00 – off-peak fares apply at all other times. Peak times are the busiest, so if you don’t want to spend time squashed up against strangers, try to avoid taking the tube at this time! The tube and buses are the modes of transport that I use the most, but there is also the London Overground, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), trams and even riverboats. If you’re feeling adventurous, there are also Santander bicycles for hire at points across the city.
