The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting, including the press and the public and Board Minutes – 21 November 2018 Page 1 explained that the meeting was being held in Committee Rooms 4 and 5 as the Chamber was not available. Nigel Holness was welcomed to his first meeting as the Interim Managing Director of London Underground, following the secondment of Mark Wild to Crossrail Limited as its new Chief Executive Officer. Following approval by the Board on 24 October 2018, an agreement had been reached with Government to provide short term capital financing support to the Crossrail project; £350m had been made available by way of a loan to the GLA to cover the additional capital requirement for the financial year. The standing Crossrail Update later on the agenda would cover progress on agreeing a longer-term funding /financing solution. The update would include the progress on the independent reviews into Crossrail Limited’s schedule, finances and governance, which would inform the funding solution, as well as the changes to the Crossrail leadership team and the project itself, which continued at pace. The Chair remained committed, as far as possible, to publishing information and discussing in public matters relating to the Crossrail project. The closed minutes from the meetings of the Board were on the agenda but Members would be invited to approve these in public and the resolutions from the closed meetings had been included in the public minutes. While there was a Crossrail Update item on Part 2 of the agenda, it was the Chair’s intention to have all of the discussion in public unless issues arose that were market or commercially sensitive. The Chair reflected on the tragic tram overturning at Sandilands, on 9 November 2016, just over two years ago. His and TfL’s thoughts remained with all those affected by the incident. TfL had made significant changes to improve safety on the tram network, addressing recommendations from the Rail Accident Investigation Branch and the independent review that TfL had commissioned. Where recommendations had not yet been fully addressed, this was due to contract awards or work to ensure that the right solutions were implemented to provide the maximum safety for passengers. Good progress was being made with other UK tram operators and infrastructure managers to establish the structure, governance and function of a new Light Rail Safety and Standards Board. TfL continued to offer support to those affected through its Sarah Hope Line. To date, more than £5m had been paid for counselling, rehabilitation, compensation and other activities to assist all those who need it. In March 2018, provision of £750,000 had been agreed for the London Borough of Croydon to support work in the local community. The Chair, Heidi Alexander, Mike Brown and all at TfL remained determined to ensure that such a tragedy did not happen again on the trams or any other TfL services. 92/11/18 Declarations of Interests Members confirmed that their declarations of interests, as provided to the Secretariat and published on tfl.gov.uk, were up to date. There were no interests to declare that related specifically to items on the agenda. Anne McMeel and Dr Nelson Ogunshakin OBE had not received the exempt minutes from the previous meetings of the Board, as they had an interest in the matters discussed as directors of the Board of Crossrail Limited. Board Minutes – 21 November 2018 Page 2 93/11/18 Minutes of the Meetings of the Board held on 19 September and 24 October 2018 While remaining exempt from publication, Members confirmed that there were no matters on the closed minutes that required discussion. Subject to the correction to the spelling of Shirley Rodrigues in minute 75/09/18, the public and exempt minutes of the meetings of the Board held on 19 September and 24 October 2018 were approved as a correct record and the Chair was authorised to sign them.
