In the London Assembly, Caroline pushed the Mayor to do more to help the taxi trade to set up Electric Vehicle taxi hubs at stations and rest/refreshment ranks – an issue that Caroline had previously raised a year ago, supporting London Cab Drivers Club. The Mayor agreed to help break through the bureaucracy standing in the way of this.
Caroline has submitted a response to the consultation organised by London TravelWatch about the proposals to close ticket offices at train stations.
Caroline said:
I object to the closure of the ticket offices and consider it crucial that no staff are removed from any stations. Stations need to be staffed from first train to last train.
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 has raised concerns in the London Assembly over a lack of level access at Old Oak Common Station.
Responding to the Met’s apology over the Daniel Morgan murder probe, Caroline Pidgeon said:
"The apology by the Met today is a welcome and long overdue move.
"The repeated trauma that Daniel Morgan's family have had to go through over the years is something no one should ever have to experience and should never be allowed to happen again.
"It is now vital the Met learns from this case and stamps out corruption at every level."
