• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 22 May 2025

Given that both scientific research and real-world incidents have confirmed that fatigue is as dangerous as driving under the influence, why does TfL continue to allow scheduling practices that put drivers and passengers at risk?

• Reference: 2025/1472
• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 22 May 2025

Do you recognise that bus driver fatigue is still being ignored at an operational level, with long shifts, inadequate recovery time, and high-pressure scheduling meaning that drivers are regularly behind the wheel while physically and mentally exhausted?

In your response to question 2025/0970, you revealed that "Fatalities which do not meet the STATS19 criteria are not included in the STATS19 data and are therefore not included in TfL’s road safety targets and baseline." Can you confirm that only STATS19 data are used to compile the road safety targets and baselines used for TfL's ‘Performance Scorecard’, upon which, inter alia, the amount of executives' annual bonuses are calculated?

Following up your response to question 2025/1039, there's a 20 June 2024 “Non Stats19” fatal incident involving a bus occupant in Waltham Forest that TfL reports in its “Road Fatalities in Greater London since 2019” spreadsheet that doesn’t appear in its ‘Quarterly Bus Safety Performance Data’ spreadsheet, nor, as you've confirmed, in its 'Road Danger Reduction Dashboard’. Please will you provide me with the full details about this incident, including, but not limited to the bus operator involved, bus route, bus garage, incident type, age, sex and transport mode of the victim?
