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...

Now that extra capacity has been created, would you support my call for cyclists to be allowed back on this line?
