§ Mr. Hilary BennTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, pursuant to his answer of 26 February 2001,Official Report, column 317W, on Turnham Green tube station, on how 271W many occasions Piccadilly Line trains have made special stops at Turnham Green tube station since the current engineering works began. [152156]
§ Mr. HillThis is an operational issue for London Underground who inform me that between 3 February and 6 March 2001 there have been 12 special stops in the morning and five special stops in the afternoon of Piccadilly Line trains at Turnham Green tube station. The majority of these stops were made outside the peak hours.
LUL have also informed me that there have been three additional periods, two in the morning peak and one between 8pm and 10pm when Piccadilly Line trains have stopped but the actual number of trains that have stopped during each period has not been recorded for those occasions.
