As a non-driver I have been using public transport all my life and know first-hand its strengths and challenges. Ealing is currently facing some major transportation challenges with the progress of Crossrail/Elizabeth Line, possible third runway for Heathrow, HS2 and the huge restructuring of our healthcare. We envisaged looking at our borough's transport connectivity taking these current projects into consideration, with a view to identifying the gaps where provision is limited to find solutions for the residents living there. It is particularly important to have good inter- borough connections with our neighbouring boroughs such as Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow as we will now be expected to access many services such as healthcare provision over the whole North West London area. Connectivity within our borough is key to economic prosperity ensuring people are able to move around our borough with reliable transportation to get to and from work and places of education as well as access our parks and leisure facilities. Health strategies are increasingly focused on prevention and better ageing for our population. With public health firmly back as a Council responsibility we need to encourage our residents to be more active and lead longer healthier lives in Ealing. Increased exercise is at the centre of our health strategy and as such we must encourage more walking and cycling. Schemes, such as the walking school buses, must be encouraged at all schools which would prevent the unpleasant traffic jams outside schools as well as yield enormous health benefits. Page 3 of 114 The Mayor of London; Sadiq Khan, has pledged to improve London's increasingly poor levels of air quality which can only be achieved with a marked reduction in vehicles. As the queen of the suburbs, famed for our green spaces we need to play our part in this important environmental policy in the capital. Buses on our networks are becoming increasingly green with a view to becoming completely electric fleets. Cars too are encouraged to wean off polluting fuels and become electric. Unprecedented pressures on housing have led to the development of the Southall old gasworks site and the old Glaxo site in Greenford, these will be thousands of homes, increasing the pressures on our existing ageing transport network. It is imperative that we make robust transport plans for these new communities to thrive and not just become isolated corners of Ealing. Our Panel has looked at the most used modes of public transport in Ealing with meetings on rail, underground, buses and pedestrian access. We have managed to invite speakers from TfL, GWR, Crossrail, and TfL buses to name a few, and discuss extensively the challenges our transport network currently faces. I have also tried to encourage the Panel members to experience first-hand the issues raised at meetings. I would like to thank Ealing Council staff in preparing reports and background for all our meetings, those that came in to inform us further on their particular specialisms. Our field trips added experience, to see for ourselves the practicalities and challenges of using public transport in Ealing. Particular thanks to Harjeet Bains and Lee Teasdale for their support with this Panel. Also, Russell Roberts and Chris Cole from our Transport department; John Gashion from EPTUG; James Guest and Alan Cook from Ealing Healthwatch for their hard work supplying us with very detailed background. I trust it is an insightful report into the current state of our transport network in Ealing on which we can build and improve. There were many other avenues we would have liked to explore to give a more comprehensive account and we hope to do this next year by extending this Panel's work. We hope to carry out a residents’ survey to produce a user friendly Transport connectivity map of the borough for transport links during the day and night to complete our work. Page 4 of 114 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The main purpose of Scrutiny Review Panel 2 – 2016/2017: Transport was to consider how public transport connectivity and walking/pedestrian routes in the borough could be improved. 1.2 The scope of the Panel was to consider the following four key areas relating to the transport systems in the borough: - Borough Connectivity (an overview of using public transport in the borough) - Rail Connectivity (e.g. tube/night tube, overground, etc.) - Walking/Pedestrian Routes (including school travel plans, accessibility on the pavements and within parks/open spaces, etc.) - Bus Connectivity (easier and safer journeys e.g. hospitals, joining hubs, etc.) 1.3 The Panel agreed that its overarching remit would be to look at how public transport use could augment and support pedestrians in the borough, encouraging healthier living and a move away from private vehicles, which in turn would support the local and wider environment. 2.0 METHODOLOGY General 2.1 The Panel received reports and presentations from internal services, external agencies and expert witnesses at their meetings. There were five scheduled meetings in the year held in Ealing Town Hall. The Panel decided to devote a single meeting to each of the four selected key areas. The Panel also conducted several site visits within and outside the Borough which complemented this work. Co-option 2.2 The Panel co-opted Mr John Gashion (Vice Chairman, Ealing Passenger Transport Users’ Group) onto the Panel at the first meeting. The Ealing Passenger Transport Users’ Group (EPTUG) is a volunteer group which was founded in 2001. It acts as a pressure group for the local transport users and is a conduit to the Council, Transport for London (TfL) and other transport bodies that are involved in the local transport systems. Site Visits 2.3 The following site visits were undertaken: Within the Borough • Ealing Civic Society Lecture on Crossrail and its Impact in Ealing to learn more about the developments to date. • Blair Peach Primary School, Beaconsfield Road, Southall, Middlesex to observe their walking bus for the 8.45am school start. • Grand Union Canal, Southall (from behind Blair Peach Primary School to Uxbridge Road) to see the unchanged and the transformed towpaths along this part of the canal. Page 5 of 114 • Southall Broadway to see the unchanged and the highly acclaimed revamped pavements. • South Road, Southall to see the relatively narrow unaltered and restored pavements in existence. Outside the Borough • 40 years of Railways in London, Crossrail HQ, Institute of Civil Engineering to get a better grasp of the challenges of upgrading the railways in London. • Shadowing a Tube Driver on the Central Line to see the driver’s perspective of a busy tube line and the other side of the journey. • Launch of Night Tube at Brixton and Oxford Circus Stations to attend the official launch of the night tube with the Mayor of London. • A trial bus journey from Dominion Centre (112 The Green, Southall, Middx, UB2 4BQ) to Northwick Park Hospital, Watford Road, Harrow, Middx, HA1 3UJ) to test whether this could be accomplished with relative ease using a hopper bus ticket. Publicity 2.4 The Panel’s work was publicised in the Council’s free magazine (Around Ealing), website and by direct emails. A Panel Meeting Page 6 of 114 3.0 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Background 3.1 The Panel received an overview of the public transport connectivity in the borough from Chris Cole (Transport Projects and Policy Manager) and Russell Roberts (Principal Transport Planner) as well as a presentation from John Gashion (Co-opted Member) on the work of Ealing Passenger Transport Users’ Group at the first meeting. At the three subsequent meetings, the Panel undertook detailed reviews of rail/tube connectivity, walking/pedestrian routes and bus connectivity. The respective service officers and external partners were invited to these meetings. The most common themes that featured across all the modes considered were Crossrail, capacity, frequency, infrastructure and accessibility. Associated Legislation 3.2 The fundamental legislation associated with the local transport matters includes: Transport for London is a statutory body created by the Greater London Authority Act 1999. 3.3 S141 (1) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 gives the Mayor of London a general duty to develop and implement policies to promote and encourage safe, integrated, efficient and economic transport facilities and services to, from and within London. 3.4 By virtue of s154 (3) (b) of the Act TfL has a duty to facilitate the discharge of the duties under s141 (1). 3.5 TfL also has a power under s173 to provide or secure the provision of public passenger transport services to, from or within Greater London. 3.6 The Council is required to adopt a Local Implementation Plan (a LIP) which is a statutory plan prepared under Section 145 of the Act to set out how it will implement the London Mayor’s Transport Strategy within Ealing. Each borough’s LIP must demonstrate how it will contribute to the Mayor’s goals, strategies and outcomes, as well as other local and sub-regional goals. 3.7 The Greater London Authority Act 1999 also made TfL responsible for the planning and operation of aspects of the London transport system including the Underground network.

We have just had our 30th AGM where we reflected on the year making note of our achievements and challenges, which includes our 30th anniversary, the rekindling of our social events and not to forget the ‘walking and talking’ aspect. The challenges faced and which will continue are Network Rail issues, GDPR and Data Transition. All of these issues will continue to progress in 2019 and we will gather and reflect your comments to and from Area. I have reviewed all the programmes 2017/18 just to get an idea of the walking distance and believe it or not the Group has walked over 788 miles, more or less from Lands End to John O’Groats. This does not include any pre- walks or detours!! This is some achievement with only 31 walk leaders, who collectively put on 125 walks. I would like to extend my thanks to every walk leader, back marker and the Committee members who have ensure everything has run smoothly in putting the programmes together, communicating information and delivery of walks. Great team work makes happy walkers. Page 1 Can I be the first to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year. My last word for now: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon the fields May the muddy bogs and styles be few and May there be plentiful bushes for your convenience.

  • More Than Just a Driver
    More than just a driver 44 ........... Other road users 46 ........... 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.

    Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal: Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Context This submission constitutes the London Borough of Hounslow’s response to an invitation to provide initial comments on the Crossrail project’s proposal for a new corridor for Crossrail 1: Corridor 6 – Norbiton, via Old Oak Common, Acton, Chiswick, Richmond and Kingston. The submission considers the proposal in terms of service and amenity for the borough’s residents and businesses, and within the context of the Council’s published policies. In addition to the two options that constitute the Corridor 6 proposals, this submission provides two further options for Crossrail’s consideration. While the Council must record its disappointment that an effective period of less than two weeks was offered for preparation of this submission, the Council also wishes to record its appreciation for the assistance given by the Crossrail consultation team during the preparation of the submission. 1.2 Council Policies The London Borough of Hounslow Unitary Development Plan’s objectives relating to transport and land use development are summarised below: • To promote sustainable transport modes (walking, cycling, public and waterborne transport) which improves access for all members of the community and enhances public transport provision in London as a whole, while reducing car traffic and the demand for road space. • To encourage a pattern of land use, and provision of transport which minimises harm to the environment and reduces the need to travel, especially by car, whilst maximising development opportunities in the Borough.
