Legal compliance
No legal action was taken, nor notices served against Tube Lines, in the period under review.
However, further investigations are underway at Cockfosters depot following receipt of two warning letters from the Environment Agency. The letters relate to a drainage pipe. In May 2007, we responded by fully relining the pipe. Despite this action, the iron discharge levels did not change. We continue to liaise with the Environment Agency and will be submitting a technical pack detailing all sampling results from 2003 and our 2008 action plan.
In 2007, we were informed by the local authority that it was unhappy with our management of the night-time loading and unloading of track replacement equipment at Goodge Street station at night. We worked with the local authority to investigate the complaints and modified our activities to minimise any nuisance and keep the job running. We are now proactively discussing arrangements for the station modernisation works, due to start in 2008.
