Women Drivers on Route R2, 286 and 394 Bus Routes

  • Reference: 2022/0147
  • Question by: Keith Prince

Following up on your response to question 2021/4900, how many women work shifts on the R2, 286 and 394 Bus Routes when access to toilets is not available.

Lack of Toilet Facilities for Bus Drivers on Routes R2, 286 and 384.

  • Reference: 2022/0146
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 January 2022
In your response to question 2021/4900 you cited “three known routes – R2 and 286 [operated by Go Ahead London] and 394 [operated by HCT London] – where access to toilets is not available for all hours of the operating day”. Given you have been TfL Chairman for over 5 years, how can you justify TfL allowing a bus contractor to provide a bus service where no toilet is available for the bus driver. Accordingly, as TfL Chairman, what will you do to resolve this unacceptable situation?

This includes any that were created or updated as a result of Covid-19”?
