In your disappointing response to Question 2022/2985, you stated that TfL was unable to “add additional columns of data showing the make, model and year of any bus involved in a collision incident where injuries have been recorded, and, where relevant, provide an additional column to identify when an Unintended Acceleration Incident has occurred” because “implementing this change is not as straightforward as TfL initially thought.” Given that it has been over 5 years since that request was first made, can you provide me with documentary evidence that shows (a) TfL ever seriously considered taking this action and (b) why...

In your response to, inter alia, Question 2022/2688, you state "TfL has made significant progress since 2018 with 64 new toilets provided for bus drivers.” Does this figure include a number of Portaloos which have been withdrawn after successful protests from local residents?

In your response to Question 2019/8818, you stated "As Transport for London does not directly employ bus drivers, it does not collect or hold data on how they travel to and from bus depots”. Given numerous statements coming from City Hall and Palestra House that (a) TfL’s Bus Safety Programme is “evidence-led” and (b) combatting ‘Bus Driver Fatigue’ is considered a priority, how can you justify TfL’s ignorance of knowing the amount of time a London bus driver has already driven before he or she starts working a 12-14 hour shift behind the wheel of a London bus?

Taking into account your lack of response to Question 2022/2987, in your responses to questions 2022/0140, 0142, 0143, and 0144 which inquired whether or not TfL asks if respectively bus driver experience, overtime, fatigue or controller instructions are investigated in any case where someone is killed injured in a ‘Bus Safety Incident’, you assured me this information ‘is requested from the bus operators….where an incident has met TfL’s criteria to trigger an investigation’. However, a review of the fatal 66 ‘Lethal Collisions’ & 16 ‘Onboard Safety Incidents’ which have occurred since 2015 published on TfL’s website reveals that only a...

Please can you provide me with copies of all internal communication (emails, memorandums, handwritten notes, WhatsApp texts) related to TfL’s preparation of its response to question 2022/2973 regarding TfL’s failure to conduct a "Short Term Review of Shift Lengths, Patterns and Rotas” as recommended by Recommendation 3 of UCL IHE’s Phase 2 Study?

In your response to Question 2022/2688 you stated "Andy Lord, as Transport for London’s (TfL) Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for both the operation of the bus network and the management of the assets that support operations. The assets include toilet facilities provided to bus drivers.” Following your recent appointment of Mr. Lord to serve as Acting Commissioner of Transport, please can you provide me with the name of the TfL executive now responsible for this matter?

In your response to Question 2022/2682 you stated "Bus drivers on all routes in London have access to at least one toilet”; in your response to Question 2022/2683 you stated "Drivers on all bus routes in London have access to toilet facilities;” and in questions 2022/2684 and 2022/2687 you stated "Bus drivers on all routes in London have access to a toilet.” You might appreciate that the subtle differences in your responses undermine any clarity you might have intended to convey. Accordingly (and to avoid further confusion), can you confirm that your three different statements signify that Bus Drivers on...

Further to your response to Question 2022/2683, is the ‘recent’ RSSB Report to which you refer entitled "Guidance on the provision of employee toilet facilities on Great Britain’s railways” and published in March 2022?

Despite your lack of response to questions 2022/3472 and 2022/3473, please provide me with the independent “Human Factors” assessment of the criterion used to justify denying sufficient toilets to bus drivers on over 25% of London bus routes found in the ‘agreement' between TfL, the bus operators and Unite the Union to which you refer in your responses to questions 2022/2672, 2022/2678, 2022/2679, 2022/2680, 2022/2681 and 2022/2682.
