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.

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 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.
