  • Concern (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Well, I mean, you ask people who use it, the local hospital patients or other users of that station, they will not accept your description that their station is by any means practically and in real terms accessible. The question is that station, as well as Harrow on the Hill, whatever the cost is, the fact is, if you are serious about regeneration, if you are serious about making those stations accessible, then you have to give us a programme as to when we can expect something being done. We cannot have this indefinite situation where there is absolutely no...

    I think most Londoners would think that, five weeks away from the Olympics, it is ridiculous that the bus drivers cannot even get the employers to discuss their claim. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to bring both sides together to have this discussion?

    Have you picked up the phone to any of the employers to actually ask them to get on with some sensible negotiation?

    Mr Mayor, I hope that cycling safety is also a cause for concern for you. In light of your exchange with Assembly Member Boff at Mayor's Question Time on 23 May, how many of the 16 cyclists who were killed in London last year would you say died because of their own fault?

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, if some of the Assembly Members need to label every part of the TfL network as 'dangerous to cyclists' succeeds, could that not be used by defence counsel as an argument to reduce the legal culpability of dangerous drivers?
  • Concern (Supplementary) [32]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, the question is twofold: one is that, of the 270 stations served by Underground network, only 65 which would be fully accessible come London Olympics, and then there you have got this temporary ramps, manually placed at some stations. The question is that, are those temporary ramps at all for future feasible to be used as entry measures? The serious question is --
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    This question is about a matter that was not the fault of London Underground, but I would like to hear whether you have received assurances of compensation from Thames Water for flooding the Tube a couple of weeks ago?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.
