Will you ask TfL to urgently review bus services to the new hospital? TfL advise that the hospital can be reached by one change, transferring from the busy route 5 onto route 175 on Wood Lane/Rush Green Road. Catching two buses in each direction makes a round trip cost £4 on Oyster. Even when reduced Oyster fares are introduced in September, the cost of catching buses will still be double the car parking charge of £1.60 for three hours. Necessitating a change of bus for this journey, making it so much more expensive than driving, is not helping to meet...

Can you tell me how bus drivers are trained to consider cyclists on London's roads? East London cyclists tell me that buses pose the greatest risk to their safety, and that bendy buses are particularly dangerous.

Will TfL consider phasing traffic lights to give cyclists a head start on motorised traffic? It has been suggested that separate filtering at busy junctions would stop cyclists jumping red lights. Is it feasible for this additional programming to be incorporated into the Clinton Foundation's discussions with manufacturers on the new generation of traffic lights for London we discussed at the last MQT?

Can you encourage London's transport police to undertake more enforcement of ASLs to make junctions safer for cyclists? When we discussed this at the last MQT you suggested that increased neighbourhood policing would assist, but is this not more practical for the transport police to enforce?

What plans do TfL have to reduce the threat to London's cyclists from lorries? As you may know, more than half of all cyclists killed in London in the 12 months to June 2006 were killed by collisions with Heavy Goods Vehicles/Large Goods Vehicles (9 of a total of 17). In the 7 year period Jan 1999 ' November 2005, 60 London cyclists were killed by HGVs/lorries. Although cyclist fatalities in London are falling (from around 22 a year to less than 20), the numbers killed by lorries is going up. With the likely increase of construction traffic associated with...

How many pedestrian crossing phases in London do you think give insufficient time to cross? Is this being checked following the recent news report about the failings of one crossing, contrary to the earlier insistence of TfL it was adequate? And are stop lines sufficiently far back from crossings in all cases, given the concerns expressed on this count too, and are these spacings being checked?
