Following up on your failure to respond substantively to question 2024/0223, does TfL use the (estimated) over 10 million annual data points of Buses Speeding collected annually by iBus’s Speed Compliance Tool to (a) review and/or (b) amend contracted performance targets in real time? If not, why not?

TfL's own published data shows, regardless of the decrease under your Mayoralty in (a) the number of bus miles operated across the network and (b) the actual number of buses under contract to TfL, bus crashes persist at an unchanging average of about 2000 recorded crashes per month. Does TfL monitor incidents where its bus drivers "fail to yield" while turning their bus or as they approach junctions? If so, how many "failure to yield" crashes did TfL report during the period 1 January 2018 - 31 December 2023?

In response to the many questions I have asked about TfL's Speed Compliance tool, you have repeatedly stated that the bus speed information recorded by iBus and held by TfL has "reliability" and "known data issues" including where "‘false positive’ incidents" are erroneously recorded in certain locations" and "due to data reliability issues. Accordingly you have stated, "Transport for London does not publish data from the Speed Compliance Tool" because "it would not be good practice to share data which is known to be inaccurate and possibly therefore misleading." Given the frequency of your statements and your and TfL's own...

The Bus Fatality Investigation Data TfL publishes on its website states "the inquest was not resumed because there was a full trial concerning the actions of the driver." What was the outcome of this full trial?

Correlating the data you provided in your response to question 2024/0215 with the bus fatality investigation data TfL publishes on its website revealed two more incidents where speed appears to be a factor. An incident on 19 April 2015 involving an N89 Bus operated by Go Ahead where TfL indicates the "bus was travelling at excessive speed at the time of the incident" and an incident on 15 April 2019 where an "approaching motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a Route 355 Bus operated by Go Ahead" where "Merton Council was reviewing the placement of speed signs on this...

Further scrutiny of the information you provided in your response to question 2024/0215 suggests that the correct date for the fatal crash involving the speeding Route 135 Go Ahead bus is 4 February 2022 and not 4 March 2021. Please will you confirm if the incident you to which you refer in the chart as occurring on 4 March 2021 is concerning the death of 33-year-old female pedestrian Mariam Boulia who was struck while crossing Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch at 0900 on 4 February 2024?

In response to question 2024/0215 you identified 5 of 37 fatal bus crashes over the period 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2023 where TfL has evidence the bus was speeding when it crashed and killed someone. From where was this evidence gathered? Did those excess speeds correlate with the information TfL gathered from its Speed Compliance tool? Did TfL even conduct such an exercise?

In your response to question 2024/0787 you stated, "Customer risk assessments are owned by local managers and are reviewed by independent Transport for London (TfL) safety professionals". Please will you provide me with a copy of the most recent "review" of the active High Barnet risk assessment by 'independent' TfL Safety professionals?
