  • Southeastern service between St Pancras and Stratford International

    • Reference: 2018/3045
    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
    A constituent has raised the anomaly within the Oyster-Contactless system whereby journeys between Stratford International and St Pancras (on Southeastern) are not included in a daily cap due to it being regarded as a 'premium' service by Southeastern. What steps will you take to press for this journey to be included within the daily cap, given that Southeastern has, to date, not been prepared to accept the reduction in its revenue that would result from allowing caps to apply and accepting Travelcards?

  • World Health Organisation aircraft noise limits

    • Reference: 2018/3050
    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
    For average aviation noise exposure, the recently published World Health Organisation (WHO) report, Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region, strongly recommends: "reducing noise levels produced by aircraft below 45 dB Lden, as aircraft noise above this level is associated with adverse health effects." Your London Environment Strategy refers to aviation noise contours in excess of 55dB, but will you include the new WHO guideline limits in your legal case against a third runway at Heathrow?
