RESEARCH PAPER 08/36
21 APRIL 2008
Transport in London
“It is difficult to speak adequately or justly of London. It
is not a pleasant place;
...
it is not agreeable, or cheerful or
easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent.”
- Henry James, Notebooks
This paper gives an overview of transport governance
and provision in London since the Greater London
Authority and a Mayor of London were elected in 1999.
The final section gives a brief summary of the transport
policies proposed by the Conservative, Green, Labour,
and Liberal Democrat candidates for London Mayor at
the forthcoming 2008 London elections.

to be the actual train driver, thanks to Fujitsu, which has developed the world’s first HD virtual railway. Well, sort of. The system, developed by Fujitsu and simulation specialist Ongakukan, coaches future train drivers who sit in a purpose-built loco. Drivers are presented with hi-def video shot on real train lines. The images can be played back at varying speeds to represent the velocity of the engine. Presumably, leaves on the line isn’t one of the settings... Fujitsu said that because the system provides accurate responses to the operator’s movements, such as slamming on the brakes, the trainee train driver receives “an unprecedented level of realism”. The company claimed this gives a “better approximation of the operational environment” than provided by existing driver-training systems, which tend to rely on computer-generated gra
