Liberal Democrats outside City Hall before meeting the top transport advisors
Local Liberal Democrats had a meeting with two senior transport advisors from Transport for London this week. The meeting came after the request by Lib Dem Leader Councillor Gary Malcolm and Caroline Pidgeon, Greater London Assembly Member, who want to see the Piccadilly Line tube stop permanently at Turnham Green.
The items discussed at the meeting included:
• Extending or trialling extensions to the current early and late stopping service at Turnham Green
• The possibility of introducing a Sunday service
• Signage and announcements at Turnham Green tube station
• Replacing the Baron's Court stop with Turnham Green on the Piccadilly Line
• Signalling of the Piccadilly and District lines
Councillor Gary Malcolm said: "The meeting was very fruitful and was helped having both residents and the top transport advisor's present who could make things happen. We have agreed to meet again to discuss the issues in more detail. One area where the Liberal Democrats believe ground can be made is that Transport for London's assumptions are based up on Department for Transport's advice which may allow for changes in their policy."
