The Passenger Transport Liaison Group is scheduled to meet online on Monday 14 September 2026. The meeting agenda includes discussions on public transport passenger safety, updates on step-free access projects for the London Underground, and the quality of service indicators for buses. Additionally, there will be updates from Network Rail regarding station improvements at Wandsworth Town and Queenstown Road.

Public Transport Passenger Safety

The group is scheduled to discuss matters relating to public transport passenger safety within the borough of Wandsworth.

Underground: Step Free Access Projects

Transport for London (TfL) is expected to provide an update on ongoing Step Free Access projects within Wandsworth Borough. This includes feasibility studies for stations such as Tooting Broadway and East Putney. The report pack indicates that improvement work to signalling equipment on the District Line, which serves East Putney, is scheduled to be completed over the next six months to enhance performance and reliability.

Buses: Bus Quality of Service Indicators

Information regarding the quality of service indicators for buses in Wandsworth is scheduled to be presented. This report will detail performance metrics for various bus routes, including data on waiting times and the probability of buses departing on time. The previous meeting's discussion highlighted that the frequency of a bus service can impact performance data, and that improvements had been noted for some routes, while others faced challenges due to factors like highway maintenance works. The G1 bus route was specifically mentioned, with feedback from local residents concerning reduced frequency being noted.

Trains and Overground: Station Improvements

Network Rail is scheduled to provide updates on two key station improvement projects.

'Access for All' and Second Entrance: Wandsworth Town Station

An update is anticipated on the 'Access for All' programme and the development of a new second entrance at Wandsworth Town Station. The report pack indicates that enabling works are underway for platform lifts, and a temporary bridge will be installed. The phased approach to these works may lead to temporary changes in train services. The previous meeting noted that noise and visual impacts from large cranes were to be expected, with advance communication to local residents planned.

Second Entrance: Queenstown Road Station

Network Rail is also expected to provide an update on the construction of a new second entrance at Queenstown Road Station. Civil works are reported to be in progress, with managerial approvals being sought. Security trespass mitigation measures are also being investigated.

The meeting is scheduled to be chaired by Councillor Noel Dube, with Councillor Nick Austin (Cabinet Member for Transport) and Councillor Jenny Yates also in attendance. Michael Flowers, Democratic Services Officer, will be present, and Sidonie Forrest-Brown, Senior Transport Planner, was noted as an attendee in the previous meeting's minutes.
