    Which single Transport issue in London is causing you the most concern at the moment?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    In respect of those improvements that you would hope to have an influence on, would you set minimum standards for staffing at stations?

    Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear you say that you think the employers and the unions should negotiate because the union has been very clear and is still saying that they have not had a single meeting with any of the employers, and I think there are 20, 21, involved in this, nor have they had a meeting with TfL to negotiate.

    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    In light of that, do you accept the findings of the TfL study in 2010 that showed that, for accidents involving cyclists, motorists were responsible for three times as many as were the cyclists themselves, bearing in mind your suggestion at the last Mayor's Question Time that cyclists were largely responsible through road infractions?

    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, you gave a commitment to make London 2012, the London Games, the most accessible Games ever. If you are serious about this pledge, why are the temporary manual boarding ramps being introduced to 16 stations only temporary, given that you are talking about leaving a permanent legacy for the Olympic Games, which you said will be the most accessible ever?

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I know one of the concerns that many of us have in this Chamber, including myself, is the overcrowding and the relatively poor service some commuters get on Overground services into or through London. We know that TfL has suggested that they would like to bid for franchises that may be coming up in the future. The next one up is Thames Link Southern franchise, which actually incorporates the Great Northern, which runs through my constituency. Can I ask, is TfL considering bidding for that franchise?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Could I ask, would that greater control be running the franchises themselves or having a partnership where you set the franchise terms?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    It has been improved for motorists, there is no doubt it is a lot easier if you are a driver, but I have been there with the cyclists and I can see exactly what the problem is, they have been overlooked, and I would urge you to go back and have a look with me and the cyclists to see that. The key point here is the cyclists have become very concerned about your approach as expressed in your exchanges at the last Mayor's Question Time in May, so will you make it clear, will you apologise to those cyclists...

  • Concern (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, I am encouraged to hear that. What will you do if the employers do not respond positively to the suggestions that have been made, as the clock counts down to the Olympics?

  • Concern (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Yes, whether that would be feasible. Also, is it sufficient that only about 21% of stations are fully accessible for games, which you said would provide the most accessible games in the history of the Olympics?
