Broken Rails
Tuesday, October 29, 2019
The GLA published a report in November 2018 calling for improved rail services in London. The report was published by the Transport Committee then headed up by Caroline Pidgeon and Florence Eshalomi. The report makes 6 main recommendations:
- NetworkRail should deliver a plan to enable more frequent and longer trains
- There should be a "Healthy Stations Charter" that promotes walking, cycling and the use of public transport to access stations. It should also promote stations to be pleasant, happy places.
- Improved passenger engagement with the formation of station user groups. [Camberwell Society has formed a station partnership with GTR for Denmark Hill]
- A single rail strategy for London developed between NetworkRail and TfL, including improved inter-connections and a drive toward "metroisation" (turn up and go services such as the Tube).
- Improved Access for All
- Improved funding
