Local MP raises concerns on ‘biased’ Piccadilly line consultation

Local MP Mary Macleod has written to TfL expressing her concerns over question 8 in their online survey, asking people to provide their views on the possibility of Piccadilly line trains stopping at Turnham Green station throughout the day. This survey is part of TfL’s public consultation, which runs until 7th October.

Question 8 asks whether people would be willing to experience a significantly poorer service across the entire Piccadilly line in order for trains to stop at Turnham Green throughout the day.

Mary said:

“I am concerned about Question 8 on TfL’s online survey because I absolutely believe that we can find a way to stop Piccadilly line trains at Turnham Green without severely disrupting the rest of the line. The question is biased and does TfL no favours because it makes them seems incapable of change and delivering a good service to Londoners. I would ask as many people as possible to tell their friends and colleagues who live outside Chiswick to answer “yes” to both questions 7 and 8 so that we can let TfL know how we feel.”

Local residents will be able to attend the Chiswick Area Forum on Tuesday 24th September at 7:30pm in Chiswick Town Hall, where the issue of Piccadilly line trains stopping at Turnham Green will be discussed.
