  • A Rail Manifesto for London
    A Rail Manifesto for London The new covered walkway linking Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations creates an interchange which provides a better connection and more journey opportunities March 2016 A Rail Manifesto for London Railfuture1 seeks to inform and influence the development of transport policies and practices nationally and locally. We offer candidates for the 2016 London Mayoral and Assembly elections this manifesto2, which represents a distillation of the electorate’s aspirations for a developing railway for London, for delivery during the next four years or to be prepared for delivery during the following period of office. Executive Summary Recognising the importance of all rail-based transport to the economy of London and to its residents, commuters and visitors alike, Railfuture wishes to see holistic and coherent rail services across all of London, integrated with all other public transport, with common fares and conditions. Achieving this is covered by the following 10 policy themes: 1. Services in London the Mayor should take over. The 2007 transfer of some National Rail services to TfL has been a huge success, transforming some of the worst services in London into some of the best performing. Railfuture believes it is right that the Mayor should take over responsibility for more rail services in London, either by transferring service operation to TfL or by TfL specifying service levels to the operator, and that this must benefit all of London. 2. Improved Services. Frequencies play an important role in the success of metro and suburban train services. We believe that the Mayor should set out the minimum standards of service levels across London seven days per week for all rail services.

This review presents the most relevant literature references on road runoff pollution and was mainly focused on references published since the year 2000. It aims at identifying the most important pollutants in road runoff – key pollutant – and having an overview of concentrations and pollutants loads in road runoff across Europe. An evaluation of the relationships between the road runoff characteristics, the road site and the event characteristics is undertaken as a foundation for tasks 1.3 and 1.4 of PROPER Project. References with monitoring data or prediction tools of road runoff pollution with interest in the European context are also included. One of the objectives is to get an updated and general overview of existing data.

  • Chapter Four – a Good Public Transport Experience
    A GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORT EXPERIENCE 129 Chapter four – A good public transport experience London has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world, with more than 9 million trips made every day by bus, tram, Tube, train and river boat. Use of the public transport system has increased by 65 per cent since 2000, largely because of enhanced services and an improved customer experience. An easy to use and accessible public transport system is an essential part of the Healthy Streets Approach as it gives people alternatives to car use for journeys that are not possible on foot or by cycle. By providing the most efficient and affordable option for journeys that are either impractical or too long to walk or cycle, public transport has helped to reduce Londoners’ dependency on cars during the past 15 years and this trend must continue.

  • Bakerloo Line Explanatory Note
    THE RAIL VEHICLE ACCESSIBILITY (NON-INTEROPERABLE RAIL SYSTEM) (LONDON UNDERGROUND BAKERLOO LINE 72 TUBE STOCK) EXEMPTION ORDER 2019 Explanatory Note What does the Order do? 1. The Order exempts rail vehicles operated on the line known as the Bakerloo Line by London Underground Limited (LUL) from certain requirements under the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 (“RVAR 2010”). The Order is made by the Secretary of State in exercise of powers conferred by sections 183(1), (2), 4(b), (5) and 207(1) and (4) of the Equality Act 2010. The Secretary of State’s decision to exercise powers in section 183(4)(b) instead of powers in section 183(4)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 is because the Secretary of State thinks it is appropriate to include articles 4 to 8 in the Order which outlines conditions and time limits on the exemptions as set out below. 2. The exemptions will apply to the vehicles from 1st January 2020 until 2am on 1st January 2024 at the latest. What requirements does this exemption cover? 3. This exemption covers the requirement to provide a boarding device (e.g. ramp) between the doorway and the platform at all platforms that do not have any level boarding, the requirement for flooring at the doorways to contrast with the flooring in the saloon, the requirement for single band of colour on the floor running parallel with the door along its full width, the requirement to provide a vertical handrail on both sides of all doors, the requirement for all handrails to have a cross section with a diameter of not less than 30mm, the requirement to make ‘next stop’ audible announcements when the train is stationary at a platform, the requirement to have a public address system for visual announcements in all vehicles and the requirement to have wheelchair spaces that comply with the RVAR 2010.
