Back in June the Mayor reassured me and my constituents that TfL were looking into dealing with the problem of screeching on the Bakerloo line at Paddington Station. This problem has not been rectified and London underground customers are still suffering the intolerable level of screeching form the train lines. Can the Mayor update us as to what TfL are currently doing about the problem?

Constituents in West London recently complained about the lack of rail replacement buses for the closures on the Jubilee and large parts of the central, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines, resulting in nearly 100 people waiting at one bus stop for a rail replacement service. Why, when a majority of the tube lines were closed, were there not enough rail replacement buses in service to provide a satisfactory provision of transport?

I understand 'strategically important hotel capacity', as referred to in Policy 4.5 of the London Plan, to mean large numbers of high quality hotel bedrooms located in places of strategic importance to visitors and tourists with good local transport links to the rest of the capital. Will you consider clarifying the definition of 'strategically important hotel capacity' in the next draft of the London Plan and will this definition broadly conform to one I have outlined above?

Ladbroke grove is frequently used by 'Out of Service' buses despite TfL's arrangement with Kensington & Chelsea council that it would not be used for these purposes. Can the Mayor assure residents that TfL will enforce better control over its operators in this area, and that residents will not be disturbed by 'out of service' buses unnecessarily travelling through this residential area?

Residents have reported that Onslow square is often used as a change over stop for bus drivers, resulting in stationary buses left with their engines on for around 20 minutes at various times of the day and night, causing disturbance to residents as well as unnecessary pollution on the square. Can the Mayor assure residents that TfL will ensure that operators enforce that bus drivers turn off their engines while they wait in the square?
