  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. Good morning, Mr Mayor and Commissioner. Congratulations on your appointment. I want to focus my questions today on Tube noise and the impact this is having on residents, day and night, in many parts of London, from south Wimbledon to Kennington to King’s Cross. Rail grinding is one of the very few tools that TfL is currently using to try to reduce noise, but internationally there are many innovations in this field. One metro in China has introduced special sleepers that have a wider base then the top, which is shown to...
  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. My questions are to you, Mr Mayor.

    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am going to talk about something completely different now, although obviously I could talk about Crossrail all morning.

These schemes have been...
  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My question is to the Mayor. I would like to ask about the recovery from the pandemic, which should include cycling. On 4 August [2021], Dr Marta Krawiec was killed cycling to work at Holborn Gyratory. There have been eight cyclists killed there since 2008; four at the junction of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road. I have seen your recent reply to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals about this where you stated: “TfL has already delivered funding for short-term interim measures and will support Camden to deliver these as quickly as possible.” Can you today provide...
