Does the Commissioner agree with the advice that I received from TfL that the 423 bus route is simply the H23 bus route renamed?

When Heathrow Terminal 5 opens, approximately 29,000 people will work there. TfL's decision to introduce no extra bus routes from Hayes (350), Southall (482) and Northolt in my constituency will prevent and discourage both commuters and customers from using public transport to travel to Heathrow from Ealing and Hillingdon. Would the Commissioner of Transport for London please reconsider his position?

In terms of trying to influence franchises, I hope that Transport for London will continue to put pressure for the earliest possible resumption of use of the former Eurostar platforms at Waterloo because it seems quite ludicrous when commuters from right across south London are suffering from inadequacy of capacity that we are paying out public money for these to remain mothballed. It is not your fault, despite the Department having good notice of that, so I hope you will use your leverage there. Secondly, when you look at the question of the franchise and the Route Utilisation Strategy, can...

I am grateful for that. Perhaps we can follow up some of those specific points on funding outside the meeting? I am happy to do that. I know, for the record, that TfL remain very firmly committed to the Woolwich station; that is very important to my constituents. That was the other point I wanted to raise. If you put aside the question of the Woolwich station, my reading of the Plan does not suggest there is very much for people in South East London. The Thameslink upgrade is the one thing that might be of use. Can I just...

I think you and I would agree about the desirability of Crossrail being funded, but whenever I talk to colleagues who seem to have spent half their lives in the House of Commons on the Bill Committee, they frankly say: `We think we may be wasting our time because there is absolutely no prospect of the money coming from Government'. What concerns me is that we have seen the Treasury, quite wrongly as I think you and I agree, fighting like cats in a sack over the Woolwich station, which is a tiny percentage of the cost, but clearly essential...

Anti-social behaviour on buses is a growing problem, made more important considering the central role buses play in TfL's philosophy. Can you detail what measures you are taking to tackle this problem, particularly in the outer London boroughs? What factors would you identify as being central to this problem?

Upon conducting my own consultation of residents in Oldfield Road, the overwhelming majority do not agree with TfL's decision to install bus shelters at any or all the stops on the road. The main reasons for this are that the bus service is only an hourly one, meaning that residents get to the stop in time for the arrival of the bus, rather than wait to `turn up and go', and that bus shelters are increasingly attracting graffiti and vandalism. Can you therefore detail, a) How many visits have been made to these shelters by TfL Officers, b) How many...
