According to a BBC article published on 17th January 2023, “Some security guards at Brixton Academy regularly took bribes to let people in without tickets, a whistleblower has told the BBC.” This allegedly led to hundreds of additional people attending the venue which could have caused an unsafe environment by breaching capacity limits.

Analysis of spreadsheet data about toilet provision on 338 bus routes TfL sent to me privately in response to Member’s Correspondence reveals that where TfL claims a toilet is provided, access to the facility is limited by (a) specific hours (27 routes); (b) access fees (7 routes); (c) lack of supervision (59 routes) or the fact said toilets are either only temporary or may exist but are not accessible because they haven’t received local council sign-off (16 bus routes).

In your response to question 2022/2673, you refused my request to release 'Route Risk Assessment Information' for the 175 bus routes you confirmed lacked toilet dignity because of ‘confidentiality’ and ‘commercial reasons’.

If not, how can this key safety performance information qualify as a commercial secret?
