Dear
Don't worry we will be lobbying very hard- I personally will take this up everywhere
as spending TFL money which reduces the level of service to bus users will be disgraceful thanks

Dear Kate
I can confirm that TfL has not yet received the business case from Lambeth. When it is received, I
am happy to circulate it.
I cannot advise you on whether you should lobby on this matter.
Best regards.

Impact Assessment Draft Reply
Dear
Can you confirm again that no business plan has yet been received from Lambeth
and that when it is you will allow us to see it. Can you also confirm that we will be able to lobby
hard to ensure that funding is NOT given if there are not live stands. Thanks Kate

Dear
As previously advised, both I and members of my team have only ever referred to the existing
facility as being used to drop off and pick up passengers in briefings to the Deputy Mayor or
previous Deputy Chairman of TfL. What I said, is that the current arrangements do not meet
accessibility and safety requirements, as passengers have to board and alight from the
carriageway. In accessibility terms this is a particular problem for wheelchair users, as the buses
cannot deploy their ramps.
At each stage in the development of the proposals the views of colleagues within London Buses
have been sought. TfL does consider there are advantages for bus passengers in having live
stands within the Old Town (you will recall I provided Lambeth with a plan showing how this could
be accommodated and recommended this option be included in the consultation). That said, both
this option and the ‘dead stand’ option are considered operationally acceptable to London Buses.
The report to Surface Board will make clear that two options were developed and will set out the
issues relating to both. However, as you will note from the attached letter from the Commissioner
and Deputy Mayor to the Leader of Lambeth (dated 24 October 2012), TfL is prepared to support
the borough if the requirements in respect of traffic modelling, the business case and other
matters are satisfactorily addressed.
Yours sincerely

Dear

could you answer the questions I put to you yesterday? For the sake of coherence I will
summarise them as follows:
1) Why did your team brief Daniel Moylan and Isabel Dedring that the current Clapham Old Town
terminus was a dead stand used by passengers at drivers' discretion when that is factually wrong?
2) Why in November 2011 did you agree to a dead-stands only Gateway proposal with no prior
consultation or notification of Leon Daniels?
3) Will the Surface Transport Panel have the option of funding live as well as dead stands, or will
the Gateway proposal before it be soley based on dead stands?
4) Why have you been extensively discussing TfL funding space to be used soley for private
clients of a pub for outdoor drinking?
I think if you could answer the above questions, that would assist my understand of TfL's position
Yours sincerely
