I welcome the re-think by TfL on weekend running hours for the Underground because of the high number of workers who use the tube in its first hour of operation on a Sunday. Have you made an initial evaluation of the results of the stakeholder consultation that ended on 12th December? When would you expect the changes to be implemented?

My constituents in Chingford and Highams Park are often unable to buy tickets for the Chingford Line in the afternoon because the ticket offices are closed. I have received similar complaints about stations on the North London Line. The fact that these stations are frequently unstaffed is not only inconvenient for passengers, but it leaves them feeling unsafe. Would you agree with me that this is an unacceptable level of service?

Further to the answer you gave to question 2195 / 2005 how much money has so far been raised for Mothers Against Guns and the Princes Trust by 'Why'? Can you break this down the total turnover into: revenue from screening the video, revenue for radio airplay and revenue from EP sales?

What are the practical implications of the clean venue requirements on 'The O2' as previously mentioned in Mayoral Question 2198 / 2005? Specifically can you confirm that the venue will not have to adopt a temporary name during the 2012 Games? Was this matter discussed when you met Philip Anschutz on 2nd November 2005?

I was heartened when you responded positively to my question raised on 15th December 2004 (ref:1765/2004) and joined me in pressing for the installation of CCTV at Wood Street Station, following a fatal stabbing. However, although funds of £0.8 million were pledged in TfL's London Rail Business Plan for 2005/6 to go to the rail operator ONE to improve customer security, no Customer Information screens or help points have been introduced at Wood Street Station and a defective light on the platform where the murder took place remains unreplaced. Will you use your influence to ensure that my constituents get...

Further to my question 2099/2005 about the difficulties cyclists in Waltham Forest have been experiencing since Silverlink Train Operating Company imposed restrictions on them taking their bikes onto the Gospel Oak to Barking Line during peak hours, there have been new developments. Silverlink and TfL have put in a bid to provide 3 extra trains during peak hours, which is excellent news. Now that extra capacity has been created, would you support my call for cyclists to be allowed back on this line?

You may recall my earlier question (14 September MQT) regarding the noise and disturbance caused to local residents by the announcement system at Earl's Court Station. Following a meeting between myself, the GLA Head of Transport, a representative of local residents, London Underground, Environmental Health Officers and a local Councillor, it was understood and agreed that the Station Manager would instruct staff that announcements were to be strictly monitored and only those relating to Health and Safety issues were to be relayed over the PA system outside the hours of 9pm and 7.30am. It was also agreed that the matter...

I have been in correspondence with Transport for London for some months now concerning the noise and vibration caused by Volvo buses using Chepstow Road, W2. Transport for London has assured me that the faults on the exhausts of these buses have been eradicated, and that they are in discussion with Volvo to ensure that the problem does not reoccur in the future. Unfortunately, it would seem that the problem has not been solved, as I am still receiving complaints that the noise and vibration caused by the buses is excessive. Engineers who tested the buses originally found that the...

Are you aware that Labour Hammersmith and Fulham Council has come out and opposed the Congestion Charge Western Extension? Can you think why this might be? Could it be that they are worried about how electorally unpopular the policy is?

Does the Mayor believe that the decision to reject the plans for the Olympic aquatic centre is just the tip of a potential iceberg in relation to additional costs to the construction of the Olympic village?
