  • London Underground Limited
    Background Paper 1 Developing the Network 1 Introduction 1.1 Bus use has increased by over two-thirds since 1999, driven by sustained increases in the size and quality of the network, fares policy and underlying changes in London’s economy. The bus network is constantly evolving as London develops and the needs and aspirations of passengers and other stakeholders change. Enhancements take place not only to the service pattern but across all aspects of the service. • Capacity. The level of bus-km run has increased by around 40 per cent over the same period. Network capacity has increased by a faster rate, by around 55 per cent, with increases in average vehicle size. Additionally, much improved reliability means that more of the scheduled capacity is delivered to passengers. • Reliability. Effective bus contract management, in particular the introduction of Quality Incentive Contracts, has driven a transformation of reliability. This has been supported by bus priority and by the effects of the central London congestion charging scheme. Service control has been made more efficient and effective by iBus, TfL’s automatic vehicle location system. 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 Excess Wait Time (mins) 1.0 0.5 0.0 1977 1979 1981 1983 1985/86 1987/88 1989/90 1991/92 1993/94 1995/96 1997/98 1999/00 2001/02 2003/04 2005/06 2007/08 2009/10 2011/12 2013/14 Figure 1: Excess Waiting Time on high-frequency routes – since 1977 • Customer service.

    UNDERGROUND ITEMS FROM THE TELEVISION AN OCCASIONAL SERIES “INSIDE THE TUBE – GOING UNDERGROUND” CHANNEL 5 – 21.00 TO 22.00 BROADCAST ON CONSECUTIVE MONDAYS FROM 3 TO 24 APRIL 2017 There was a total of four programmes in this series, all of which were presented by engineer and explorer Rob Bell. This review covers the first two programmes of 3 and 10 April. The third and fourth programmes will be reviewed in the next issue of Underground News. We should note that details published here are as broadcast, with any serious errors (fortunately, there were very few) noted as we go along. THE WORLD’S FIRST DEEP TUBE LINE The first programme began by saying that the London Underground is the world’s oldest Underground railway and is the lifeblood of London some 154 years after first opening. It is now carrying more passengers than ever, with 1.2 billion passengers per year. When the Underground first opened, people were travelling by horse and cart but its past has left a legacy. The programmes will visit ghost stations and places never seen by the public and will discover how the Underground was built. This, the first programme, was devoted to the world’s first deep tube line – what is now the Northern Line which is used by 700,000 passengers each day. We were told that the Northern Line, one of the deepest lines, runs for 36 miles from north to south, crossing the river. When the first section of the line opened back in 1890 it was hailed as a marvel, an engineering miracle, as the streets and bridges couldn’t cope with a growing population.

  • 16 Taxi Services
    Borough Transport Strategy Draft Final 16 Taxi services 16.1 Where do we want to be? The licensed taxi trade within Croydon must be seen in the context of an integrated transport solution. The Borough should have an active taxi market that serves the needs of its users by providing safe and convenient services at all times of the day. There are over 400 drivers licensed to operate taxis within the Borough and the Council should ensure that they are able to adequately serve existing ranks and have access to new markets where a minimum level of service can be provided at new ranks. The long term aspiration should be to seek the provision of taxi ranks at all railway stations within the Borough. This would be delivered through a progressive process of introducing new taxi ranks in accordance with expected demand, perhaps through station forecourt redevelopment or enhancement opportunities. Taxi fares should to be integrated into wider smart card ticketing initiatives such as Oyster allowing taxi trips to become a component of seamless multi-modal journeys where taxi trips complement other public transport modes. Taxi drivers and operators should also aspire to keep pace with technical innovations that minimise the air pollution impacts of taxi services. 16.2 Where are we now? 16.2.1 Taxi ranks There are nine Public Carriage Office (PCO) designated taxi ranks within Croydon, of which six are located within the CMC and smaller ranks located at South Norwood, Waddon and Purley. The PCO reference number, location and size of these ranks are summarised
