Due to the to the numbers of customers and staff killed unprecedented changes in travel demand or seriously injured, where the most serious during lockdown and the uncertain period incidents occurred at only half the expected of recovery ahead, it is not meaningful to rate. present targets in absolute terms or to rely on previous performance in forecasting. Consequently, the targets we have adopted are rate-based and reflect our dual ambition of supporting a safe and sustainable recovery while also aligning to the longer- term trajectory required to meet our Vision Zero ambitions. Supporting a safe, sustainable recovery post lockdown is a key focus TfL SHE quarterly report 6 Safety, health and environment performance overview In this section, we provide an overview Overall, there were 423 injuries of all Figure 1: of key trends for the year and the areas severities across all customer modes, and Customer and workforce injury rates 0.20 where we are targeting performance 167 TfL employee injuries.

This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments.

Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others.

Chosen to receive Kayne’s gift of immortality, Aislinn has spent centuries searching for justice, while avoiding the politics and intrigues of the London Coven and its ruthless ruler, Julius. But in a world where blood is power, there are those who will do anything and stop at nothing to possess it. Is Aislinn prepared for what is coming? A Bad Moon is rising… CHAPTER 1 urning into a narrow alley, the darkness grew thicker around Aislinn, and T the cold bit just a touch deeper and sharper with every step.

  • From the Papers
    FROM THE PAPERS Items for “From the Papers” should be sent to Ian McKenzie at 24 Thamespoint, Fairways, Teddington, TW11 9PP (or E-Mail [email protected]), and not to the Editor of this journal. Please ensure that contributions are identified by date and source publication. 14.05.20 METRO – In 1928, the black & white feature Underground, directed by Anthony Asquith, became the first movie to use the Underground network as a location. Since then, film requests have got bigger and more ambitious. This is largely owing to the extension of the Jubilee Line in 1999 and station modernisation programmes that made it a more desirable place to film. The extension meant the existing Jubilee Line platforms at Charing Cross were no longer being used, making this an attractive and available space for film crews to shoot. Now they use it for everything from feature films to children’s TV shows, documentaries and sometimes music videos. It is not practical to film at busy stations, but along with Charing Cross, there are other locations that are really good for filming. These include the disused station at Aldwych, used mainly for period-type filming, and Farringdon, where the ticket halls are quiet during off-peak periods. The Underground recently opened another entrance at Bank station, locally known as “Walbrook”, and this is a real opportunity for film productions because when it is closed at weekends, and at less busy times during the week, we can direct passengers through the other entrances and use it as a film set. It’s really convenient to use the new escalators and stairs there, as they are particularly modern looking.

Using the public address (PA) system 49 ...........Pre-recorded announcements 43 More than just a driver More than just a driver Being a professional bus driver requires more than just giving your passengers a safe, smooth ride. This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.
