As passenger numbers increase, our responsibility to carry passengers safely, reliably and comfortably is also becoming more important. This latest edition of the Big Red Book contains new and updated guidance to help you continue to deliver the high standards our customers expect. We’ve added and updated guidance, but can’t cover all possibilities. If you’re in doubt about how to handle a situation, think about how you would like to be treated and you will have the answer. Often customers just want to be kept informed, so we have included a new section on page 46 about using your PA for this purpose. Thank you for your contribution towards making the bus service in London world class. Leon Daniels Managing Director, Surface Transport Transport for London Introduction 4 What’s new?

Frequently asked questions 8 Top questions asked 1. What do I do if there are people or buggies in the wheelchair area and a wheelchair user wants to board? Wheelchair users are to be given access to the wheelchair space even if it is occupied by other passengers or buggies. Use the iBus automated announcement to make it clear that the wheelchair space is needed. If necessary, politely but firmly ask the buggy owners to move or fold their buggies to let the wheelchair user into the area as this is the only safe place for them to travel. Explain you will give them the time they need to do this and be patient and polite. Do not move off until they are re-positioned. Sometimes it is possible for a wheelchair and an unfolded buggy to share the space. You should allow this provided the wheelchair user is in the correct position and the buggy does not block the gangway. See ‘The basics’ page 33 9 Frequently asked questions 2. What do I do if a passenger wants to board with a buggy and there are already buggies on board? Generally, it is safe to have two unfolded buggies in the space depending on their size. However, there is no fixed rule on the maximum number of buggies allowed because every situation is different - it depends on the size of the buggy, the space available and how full your bus is. Only ask passengers to move or fold their buggy down if space is needed by a wheelchair user or if it will cause an obstruction. There is no restriction on the number of folded buggies as long as they do not block the aisle. See ‘The basics’ page 33 3. Why should I pick up passengers if they don’t put their hand out at the bus stop? Whether it is day or night, if there is someone at the bus stop, you have to stop. If you are sure nobody is waiting for your bus, or wants to get off, you can keep going. If in doubt, stop. The policy changed because some passengers may not know they need to put their hand out or they might be visually impaired making it difficult for them to know which bus they should flag down. See ‘The basics’ page 19 Frequently asked questions 10 4. Do I have to stop more than once at busy bus stops? You may need to. Older customers or those with mobility or visual impairments frequently tell us that it is hard for them to board their bus at busy bus stops. Often, this is because buses pull up behind others already at the stop, which may be some distance from where passengers are waiting. You must always make sure that passengers who want your bus have an opportunity to board before you pull away. Do not move off or pull round other buses in front of you until you have checked to see all passengers waiting for your bus have boarded. This may mean you need to pull forward nearer to the stop. See ‘The basics’ page 19 11 Frequently asked questions 5. What if a passenger has a problem with their Oyster card? If the card is not working, there is little you can do to solve the problem, but always be patient and polite. Ask the passenger to try again, touching their card flat on the yellow target of the reader. If it still does not work, use the information on the ETM display to explain what is wrong and print it out if necessary. Passengers can get help to sort the problem out at: tfl.gov.uk/oyster Tube ticket offices The Oyster helpline on 0845 330 9876 If the passenger still wants to travel they will have to pay the cash fare. In the Pay Before You Board (PBYB) area, passengers must buy tickets before they board Freedom Pass holders do not have to pay if their card is not working, except if it has been stopped. Otherwise, check the expiry date, make sure their photocard is a true likeness, let them board and advise them to get a replacement Freedom Pass Frequently asked questions 12 If a passenger says there should be more money on their Oyster card, it could be for a number of reasons and there is little you can do. They must pay a fare if they want to travel and contact the Oyster Helpline or the place where they got their card to sort out the problem. A receipt is not valid for travel See ‘A drivers’ guide to ticketing’, page123 If there is anything that you want to know, which is not covered here, send a text to: 07860 023080*, or email [email protected] and we’ll get back to you. *Your normal network rate applies The basics 16 ........... A typical journey 23 ........... If your journey is disrupted 28 ........... What can you allow on board? 33 ........... Buggies 35 ........... Using your Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) 15 The basics The basics Customer expectations of the bus service are increasing, so being a professional is key to delivering the high standards needed for London's bus service to be regarded as 'World Class'. This section contains guidance to help you maintain these high standards. The basics A typical journey 16 A typical journey Before you leave the garage… 1. Complete your walk round checks and make sure your wheelchair ramp is working. If there is a problem with the ramp you must report it and it should be repaired or your bus substituted before you leave the garage. 17 The basics A typical journey 2. Remember to sign on your ETM module. 3. You also need to make sure your iBus and Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) are working. Visual and audio announcements on iBus make it much easier for disabled passengers as well as those less familiar with the network to use the buses. This is why you must make sure iBus is switched on at all times, unless authorised not to by your service controller. Having iBus on also means passengers will ask you fewer questions. Please report any faults with iBus as soon as possible via your service controller, so we can get them fixed. 4. You should be smartly dressed in your company’s uniform and must not wear your hi-vi while driving. 5. Make sure you have a cash float to cover reasonable amounts presented by passengers during your shift, as this ensures you are able to give change and helps avoid conflict.

  • Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon

    Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon

    ULTIMATE SPECTATORS GUIDE TO THE LONDON MARATHON We recommend you purchase a Travelcard to travel around London on the day as this will allow access to Rail, Tube and Bus at no extra charge. Zones 1-2 should be adequate for the travelling around the route, however if you need to go further afield, please check which zones you’ll be travelling in. Buses no longer accept cash payments. You’ll need to use a Travelcard, Oyster card or pay with a contactless debit/credit card. Please note that whilst we do have cheering stations at Tower Bridge (mile 12) and along the Victoria Embankment (mile 24) these will be manned by volunteers and we do not recommend you go to those points on race day. This is because these areas are extremely busy and it can take a long time to move through the crowds. By skipping Tower Bridge, you have more chance of seeing your runner at multiple points on the route, and by going straight to mile 25 from 19 you’ll cheer them on from the end! START AREA Although it’s advised not to accompany your runner to the start due to the high volumes of people, if you decide to see them off, please be aware that spectators will not be allowed into the assembly areas of the start. Once you’ve said your farewells and good lucks, head down the Avenue out of Greenwich Park. Once out of the park, turn left onto Nevada Street and keep walking as it turns into Burney Street.

  • Railways: Thameslink Infrastructure Project

    Railways: Thameslink Infrastructure Project

    Railways: Thameslink infrastructure project Standard Note: SN1537 Last updated: 26 January 2012 Author: Louise Butcher Section Business and Transport This note describes the Thameslink infrastructure project, including information on how the scheme got off the ground, construction issues and the policy of successive government towards the project. It does not deal with the controversial Thameslink rolling project to purchase new trains to run on the route. This is covered in HC Library note SN3146. The re- let of the Thameslink passenger franchise is covered in SN1343, both available on the Railways topical page of the Parliament website. The Thameslink project involves electrification, signalling and new track works. This will increase capacity, reduce journey times and generally expand the current Thameslink route through central London and across the South East of England. On completion in 2018, up to 24 trains per hour will operate through central London, reducing the need for interchange onto London Underground services. The project dates back to the Conservative Government in the mid-1990s. It underwent a lengthy public inquiry process under the Labour Government and has been continued by the Coalition Government. However, the scheme will not be complete until 2018 – 14 years later than its supporters had hoped when the scheme was initially proposed.
