    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Krupesh Hirani AM: My question is to Andy Byford. What action are you taking to ensure that both staff and passengers remain safe from abuse as more and more people return to the TfL network?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. My question is to you, Commissioner. The Mayor very rightly in his opening statement talked about safety being at the heart of everything that TfL does in all aspects of its work. My colleague Assembly Member Hirani has asked you questions about safety across the network but I want to ask you a specific question about safety on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which is a London-wide issue although most of the DLR is in my City and East London constituency. Recently, Stephen Timms, the Member of Parliament (MP) for...

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Sem Moema AM: Nice to see you both. My question is around e-scooters and it is to Andy. I just wondered if you could provide an update on TfL’s rental e-scooter trial that is taking place in conjunction with London Councils, some boroughs and the Government? I would really appreciate understanding how it is being evaluated before the trial comes to an end next year.

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. My question is to you, Commissioner. First of all, I want to congratulate all the stations that have been opened up for Crossrail. They are beautiful and they are improving step-free access, particularly the one in Southall, where we have the Punjabi language signage, which reflects the cultural value of Southall. I want to congratulate TfL for doing that. I also want to ask - this caused a lot of excitement - when we will see Crossrail fully functioning. Can you give us an update on Crossrail, please?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning Commissioner and to you, Mr Mayor. If Assembly Member Dr Sahota had not mentioned Crossrail, then I certainly was going to. I went to Whitechapel Station last week for the opening. I have three points about the station. Firstly, it is great, absolutely great; airy, spacious, bright. People, locals, members of the public were taking pictures on their mobiles and so on. Genuinely there was a sense of excitement among so many locals. I know that it was covered worldwide through various media outlets. We saw Crossrail trains going by as well with their trial...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [25]

    • Question by: Peter Fortune
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Peter Fortune AM: This is a question for the Commissioner. Can I also just add to what my colleagues said about welcoming your appointment? Your informed, pragmatic and non-political approach is exactly what we need at this time because there are lots of challenging conversations going on. I am just looking at some data now of increased levels of car use in outer London post-pandemic. There are some big challenges around major infrastructure projects being shelved like the Sutton tram extension. I know there are conversations about reducing some bus frequencies in outer London as well. As a result of...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Siân Berry AM: I would like to start with the Commissioner. On the TfL deal with the Government, one key part of that is the requirement to increase our fares in London by retail price index (RPI) plus 1%. That comes out at 4.8% this year, based on the figure for RPI that came out in July. Are you comfortable that a nurse in zone 6 is going to face an increase in the cost of travel on TfL services of as much as £20 a month according to this arrangement?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Elly Baker
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Elly Baker AM: My first question is to the Mayor, around service levels and service level reviews. TfL is required to review service levels on London buses, London Underground, and TfL, this month as you know. Does it make sense to review them just six weeks after the easing of restrictions on 19 July?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. A question to the Mayor. One of the options for Londoners who cannot afford the rise in the ULEZ, the expansion, is to join car clubs, especially in outer London where cars are still quite heavily used. Are we doing enough to promote this kind of activity? Are you working on that?

  • Addressing vulnerabilities in the GLA and Functional Bodies (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 10 June 2021
    Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): I have a series of questions, mainly for the Commissioner, Andy Byford. Good morning, Andy. As you said earlier, you took over as Commissioner during lockdown, not at the beginning. Were there any processes in place that you changed straight away on your arrival?
