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?

  • Reference: 2022/4170
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
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.

Lack of Toilet Dignity for London Bus Drivers: Route Risk Assessment Information

  • Reference: 2022/4167
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
In your response to Question 2022/2673, you refused “for commercial reasons” to publish the risk assessments for each of the 175 London bus routes that lack ‘Toilet Dignity for Bus Drivers’. Taking into account your, in my view, lack of transparency, can you at least confirm if the obvious risks to bus driver or passenger safety posed by the lack of toilets on these routes were considered in any of these 175 route risk assessments? If so, please identify the route numbers where lack of toilet dignity was considered and risk assessed.
