In your responses to Questions 2023/2822, 2023/3366 and 2023/3561, you refused to consider putting any payments to Operators for mileage run where a KSI incident has occurred ("Blood Mileage") into escrow because (a) "the total bus operator mileage linked to KSI collisions is very small in relation to the scale of the contractual payments for each operator", and (b) “introducing a commercial aspect may undermine TfL's 'approach of building and open and just culture with Bus Operators' and encourage undesirable behaviours.” Surely, the quantum of non-deductible mileage that will be incurred by TfL from protecting Bus Driver Welfare under the...

According to the Transport Commissioner's statement on 3 July, from the summer of 2001 until sometime this year, TfL's Bus Contractors were financially penalised for any contracted mileage that was not performed because of actions they took to protect driver welfare, including, but not limited to, rare occasions they permitted Bus Drivers to refuse driving hot buses. Under the New Performance Regime, TfL will be absorbing a cost that was formerly borne by the Bus Operators. Surely TfL made its decision based upon it knowing the cost of denying itself a future revenue stream. Can you provide me with whatever...

According to the Transport Commissioner, under TfL's New Bus Performance Regime announced on 3 July, Bus Operators are no longer penalised for any mileage lost due to actions they take to protect Bus Driver Welfare. Can you provide some detail as to how that Regime will operate in practice? Have Bus Operators been instructed to provide a new code to give to iBus Controllers that indicates such miles will be non-deductible? How will the New Bus Performance Regime be monitored? By TfL or the Bus Operators?

On 3 July, the Transport Commissioner told the London Assembly “…for the first year, we changed our Performance Regime. In the past, the Bus Companies would still be penalised if they curtailed or did not meet their performance requirements because of the hot weather or because they were taking action to support Driver Welfare. That was changed this year. So, there are no Bus Companies being penalised if there’s any impact due to the hot weather, particularly for Driver Welfare…” Please provide me with the documentary evidence, including any internal communication between TfL staff and external communication with Bus Operators...

In your response to Questions 2022/5400 and 2023/0929 you stated “there is no specified upper workplace temperature limit in UK regulations. It would be the Government who would set such national regulations.” I have recently seen news reports that the HSE is working on new regulations that will allow 'workers to down tools in heatwaves'. Will you commit to lobbying the Government to legally mandate that UK Bus Drivers will not be required to drive – and will also suffer no consequences from their employer for refusing to drive – any public bus with a cab temperature that exceeds that...
