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?

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?

Can you confirm if residents of the London Borough of Hackney will be entitled to receive free passes to some Olympic events staged within the Borough? If so, will this privilege be extended to other London boroughs in which events are being staged? Will residents in areas outside London in which events are being staged also benefit from the same privilege?

Could the Mayor comment on the practicality of Londoners being able to renew their Freedom Passes once every 4 years rather than the present 2 year limit? It has been suggested that such a move could potentially save costs on administration, distribution and hiring of buildings.

I understand that the Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust is in the process of writing to Mayor Livingstone to invite him to the Princess Royal University Hospital to see for himself how the lack of adequate access by public transport is impacting on patient care. Will the Mayor confirm that he will visit the hospital to witness at first hand the difficulties patients experience in accessing the site? The Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough is one of the major hospitals for Bromley and South East London. Access by public transport is limited with the majority of bus services stopping on...
