  • South West Trains

    • Reference: 2015/4359
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 16 December 2015
    With South West Trains' operating contract ending in July 2017, what work is TfL doing to maximise the chances of it taking control of South West London's commuter rail network?

  • Compensation for train delays and cancellations

    • Reference: 2015/1961
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 17 June 2015
    Last week it was revealed that there were over 3,000 train journeys where Londoners could have claimed compensation because their train was late or cancelled. But only 15% of people who could claim actually did. Do you think that train operators and TfL should do more to promote the fact that commuters can receive compensation for late or cancelled journeys?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One final question. Studying your documents there do not seem to be a vast number of trips being planned, for example, to other Commonwealth countries, with which Britain already has very good relations but could be improved. Is there a particular reason why that is the case?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That is not the point I am raising.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One of the considerations might be that we have had very clear ones to Cuba, Venezuela etc, which do not strike us as being those areas which would be immediately promoting London as such an important international city. Clearly, that is a priority. Why?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    It is just that you are making comments to us like, `It is good to go to New York because tourists spend a huge amount of money in London'. The implication is if the Mayor did not go to New York the tourists would not come to London. What actual value is that adding?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Right. Are there instances of officers then seeking foreign trips which have been declined by yourself or the Mayor or through the machinery?
