Caroline Pidgeon has responded to Transport for London's consultation on the new X34 bus route, which will run between North Finchley and Walthamstow as part of the Superloop.
Caroline stressed the need for a frequent enough service to create an attractive alternative to driving, as well as dedicated bus lanes to avoid buses getting stuck in traffic.
Caroline Pidgeon, Luisa Porritt and Hina Bokhari visited the Olympic Park, to meet Brian from the Olympic Park Homes Action Group and first hand the serious issues of the fire safety and cladding scandal.
Leaseholders must not be left picking up the bills!
Speaking to City AM, Caroline described her frustration at the poor service on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, and the repeated delays in introducing electric trains to replace the unreliable diesel trains that currently run.
"Users of this line have been badly let down.
"The continual excuses and passing of the buck between TfL, Network Rail and the train manufacturer are a perfect case study of everything that is wrong with our railway industry.
Caroline Pidgeon's questioning of the Mayor has revealed that the long-awaited launch of electric trains on the Gospel Oak to Barking Overground route has been delayed yet again.
Caroline joined Farooq Qureshi, Bob Sullivan and the team in Waltham Forest to campaign for May's local elections. There was a really strong turnout from the team and they had a great morning campaigning.
The electrification of the Barking to Gospel Oak Overground line has been delayed once again, and could now take until the end of 2017.
Caroline Pidgeon told the Evening Standard:
“Between TfL and NR something has gone seriously wrong with the electrification of the line.
"This has been increasingly clear for many months. Passengers were promised a year ago that the upgrade work would be finally completed by the end of June 2017.
Caroline Pidgeon has criticised plans to leave West Brompton, Highbury and Islington, Blackhorse Road and Canada Water Overground stations unstaffed during the day.
Caroline said:
“Having staff present at every London Overground station, from the first to last train, is central to its high level of service and success.
“The policy ensures the stations are safe and accessible for everyone, including disabled people who can use a ‘turn up and go’ service.
As Transport for London announced that the London Overground line between Gospel Oak and Barking will now reopen to passengers on Monday 27 February, but that the installation of all of the overhead wires has not been completed on time and more work is required, Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, criticised the way the work has been executed and communicated:
“The fault for these delays rests with some appalling errors made by Network Rail, who have many questions to now answer.
Caroline joined local Lib Dem campaigner and local resident Bob Sullivan and the Lib Dem team to campaign in Waltham Forrest.
They went out to speak to local residents about the upcoming London Assembly and Mayoral elections, and Caroline’s Half Price Fares Before Half Past Seven policy which was popular on the doorstep.
Caroline Pidgeon, transport spokesperson for the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the concentration of flight paths from London City Airport that are starting today, said:
“The changes that are starting today will mean residents who were hardly overflown at all by planes from London City Airport a few years ago now face living under a concentrated flight path.
