    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.

    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?

    • 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?

    • 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) [25]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    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?

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Have you picked up the phone to any of the employers to actually ask them to get on with some sensible negotiation?
