In your response to 2022/3463, you revealed that, across all operators, 1 in 6 buses audited by TfL had an air conditioning fault and among 3 operators it was 1 in 3 buses. Since, in question 2022/2993, you've stated “each bus operator is responsible for their maintenance and has their own serving regime”. Did TfL place any sanction on the poorest performing bus operators?

In your response to 2022/3474, you stated: “In reports since April 2016, the need to urgently use a toilet is only mentioned by bus drivers in a very small number of safety incident reports.” Based on TfL’s published data, during the period from 1 April 2016 to 31 December 2021, 56 people were killed and 3,823 sent to hospital in potentially preventable Bus Safety Incidents. Accordingly, please provide me with the full details—date, route number, garage, bus operator, borough, type of incident, available victim’s details including mode of travel— of the “very small number” of bus safety incidents where the...

In responses to questions 2022/0140, 2022/0142, and 2022/0143, you indicated that, respectively, evidence about bus driver experience, overtime and fatigue are sought only "where an incident has met TfL’s criteria to trigger an investigation". According to TfL's own published data, from 1 April 2016 to 31 December 2021, at least 56 people were killed and 3823 people were sent to hospital in potentially preventable bus safety incidents. How many of these 3879 bus safety incidents met TfL’s criteria to trigger an investigation?

Despite your admission in question 2022/2990 that neither TfL’s Chief Safety Officer nor TfL’s Head of Bus Business Development possess IOSH and NEBOSH accreditation, these individuals are often quoted in the press after someone has been killed or seriously injured in a TfL-related Transport Safety Incident. Will you undertake to restrict these individuals from speaking to the press about safety on behalf of TfL until they are fully accredited?

In your response to question 2022/2990, you confirmed that, three years after being appointed Chief Safety Officer, that TfL executive has not obtained basic NEBOSH and IOSH accreditation that could be expected of anyone in charge of safety at Europe’s largest public transport network. Does that fact—coupled with your admission in question 2022/0790 that the current Chief Safety Officer was the sole applicant for the internally advertised role—suggest that you and TfL might consider casting a wider net to fill this crucial role?
