Piccadilly line signalling 'number one priority'

Local Democracy Reporting Service

New signalling on the Piccadilly line is the “number one priority” for Transport for London (TfL), according to the network’s boss.

London Transport Commissioner Mike Brown said the increase to capacity would be “like an entirely new service in London”.

Modern signalling allows more trains and a more reliable service on Underground lines – meaning the Piccadilly line could run every 90 seconds.

TfL has already commissioned 94 new trains to replace the 50-year-old rolling stock on the line, with the first expected in 2023.

Their design will allow 12% more passengers to board – but it could be boosted by 60% with a more regular service.

That would allow 21,000 more passengers to use the line every hour.

The £2.45 billion signalling upgrade was shelved in 2018 as TfL tightened the purse strings in an effort to cut its deficit.

Labour assembly member Joanne McCartney – who represents Enfield and Haringey – said the difference between the Piccadilly and Victoria lines was now “very stark”.

She said it would be “completely bonkers” if new trains ran on the line for years without a signalling upgrade.

Ms McCartney said: “For my part of north London this is our main route into Heathrow, the UK’s biggest airport – and it’s also the most affordable route.”

The Piccadilly line carries more people to Heathrow than any other train to any other airport anywhere in the world.

Hospital staff given bodycams

Bodycams have been given to hospital staff to make them feel more safe around potentially violent and aggressive patients.

Security staff, casualty nurses and medical teams at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals are trialling them in an attempt to deter confrontations and boost confidence among the workers.

The cameras attached to their clothing are not running the whole time but can be triggered by a button if the staff member feels the need to.

They have to tell the patient or visitor that the camera is about to be turned on.

A mirror image of what is being recorded can be seen by the other person as it is happening.

St Peter's Hospital
ASP Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Steven Hill, non-clinical risk manager for ASP Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said the idea came after staff highlighted in a survey about their working environment that dealing with an aggressive or violent incident at work was a concern.

He said there are on average about 23 to 25 incidents of violence and aggression – both physical and verbal – towards staff reported every month across the trust.

Workers in security, the Intensive Care Unit, Patient Advice and Liaison Service and Accident and Emergency across the two hospital sites have been issued 24 cameras between them.

The cameras are about the size of a small matchbox.

In the three months since the trial started there have been 24 pieces of footage recorded.
