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?

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?

Do you plan to transform TfL so that it no longer requires a public subsidy?

OK. If it was too long-winded, simply, can we have an index of premature deaths from poor air quality against road fatalities in the annual Health, Safety and Environment reports that TfL issue, just as a broad indication of where we are going on this issue?

So, can I ask, one of the concerns, particularly in the recent McNulty Report, was around the ability to close category E ticket offices, which are the smaller ticket offices, but which offer vital assistance to commuters, particularly in my constituency, for example. In that franchise that is coming up in the autumn, the Great Northern, part of Thameslink franchise now, I have Grange Park and Bowes Park that are actually grade E. Are you having an influence in that and can I ask you today, can you ask for conditions for those ticket offices to remain open?

Thank you; that is one down. Now, can I just say to you that the recent YouGov survey commissioned by End Violence Against Women Campaign showed that almost a third of respondents, women aged 18-24, have experienced unwanted sexual attention on London's public transport. So, is it not time for TfL to commit to a zero tolerance sexual harassment awareness campaign, similar to the one run in New York; I do not know if the Mayor saw the campaign ads while he was visiting there recently, but those ads are quite clear. They say, 'Sexual harassment is not acceptable, will...

I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.

I think it is very encouraging to hear that actually TfL, you have shifted your position away from what really was a hand-washing of the issue. Can I agree with you, Peter, that these issues can be resolved quite quickly and I would have thought that, if necessary, if you get on the phone to the union and the employers, you could probably get everybody into Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) tomorrow in order to stop the strike on Friday.

Yes, thank you, Chair. My questions of concern are about sexual harassment on London transport and they are to the Commissioner. Peter, I am just looking for four yeses here, so I hope we can agree. Can I just start by saying, I know that you will agree with me, that sexual harassment on London's transport system has been a matter of concern. I say that because I have been working with your officers on this matter since 2009. Can you confirm that TfL remains committed to a zero tolerance approach and that TfL has a duty to ensure that...

Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...
