Transport for London officers will be quizzed on “unacceptably high” temperatures in carriages, accessibility issues and frequent delays on the Central line at an upcoming meeting.

A report seen ahead of an Epping Forest District Council meeting next Tuesday (October 25) shows councillors hope to question TfL on more than 15 separate issues in December.

Concerns include the perception that fewer services run through to Epping than Hainault, ageing trains on the line and station access problems for people with disabilities.

The possible reinstatement of the line to Ongar and the extension of CCTV coverage will be other talking points.

Vice-chairman of the overview and scrutiny committee, councillor Leon Girling, said Tube station car parks and future development would be discussed.

He said: “We want to definitively know if they are selling off the land or allowing us to do something with it… and if future housing is being proposed, will the network be able to be improved to cope with all these new home owners?”

TfL has come under fire recently after three rush hour services were removed from the Roding Valley branch, with more than 1,000 people signing a petition against the cuts.

In Redbridge, commuters slammed the Central line as the “worst, most dangerously overcrowded and asphyxiating” Tube service earlier this week.

The overview and scrutiny committee hopes to question TfL officers on December 19.
