In your response to Mayor’s question 2021/4057, you stated "Transport for London (TfL) does not require the bus operating companies to share copies of their risk assessments covering activities within their garage environments. This includes any that were created or updated as a result of Covid-19.” After recent reports of 4000 litres of diesel fuel leaking from a TfL bus garage in Croydon into the River Wandle on 18 February 2025, do you regret TfL’s policy to refuse to review and monitor bus operators' risk assessments covering activities within their garage environments? Will you now instruct TfL to order TfL...

Following the brutal kidnapping and murder of the Bibas family, during the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, major cities across the world showed solidarity with the family by lighting national monuments in orange, as the family were eventually laid to rest in February 2025. What consideration did you give to lighting London monuments in orange (including City Hall) or holding alternative tributes to the Bibas family?

Given your Vision Zero "ambitions", how can you explain that TfL's latest published scorecard gives items like "Total Engagement" (7.5%) and "Senior Leader Representation" (7.5%) each a weighting that is 11% higher than any KPI category for safety performance?

How do you reconcile the fact that TfL's latest published scorecard weights "Customer Journey Time" (9%) more than 25% percent higher than, respectively, "Roads, Killed or Seriously Injured" (6.67%), "Customer, Killed or Seriously Injured" (6.67%), "Colleague, Killed or Seriously Injured" (6.67%) with your and TfL's constant refrain that "Safety is TfL's 'first priority'"?

In your response to Mayor’s question 2025/0605, you stated "2024 figures for bus-involved fatalities will be published in September in the annual ‘Casualties in Greater London’ factsheet." In both the ‘Road Fatalities in London since 2019’ spreadsheet and the latest (Q2 2024) ‘Bus Safety Data Spreadsheet’, there are two deaths that are considered Non-STATS19 (1. The 11 February 2024 death of an adult male pedestrian after a collision with a Route 158 Arrive bus in Enfield, an incident which is recorded in both published data sets, and 2.

When asked to confirm the total of 16 people "killed on or by a Bus" in 2024 in Mayor’s question 2025/0605, you stated "Transport for London (TfL) does not recognise this number".

In your response to Mayor’s question 2025/0603, you stated "by maintaining two datasets it ensures that a full picture of bus safety data enables TfL to target effective safety improvements. Both datasets are maintained and released to the public and are an accurate account of incidents involving a bus according to their specifically defined parameters set out above." Do you accept that TfL appears to be underreporting the number of people "killed on or by a bus" through these separate data sets?

By comparing the fatality data found in London's ‘Road Danger Reduction Dashboard’ (which only starts at 2017) and then correlating it with the fatality data found in the ‘Quarterly Bus Injury Details’ data TfL has published from 2014 (until Q2 2024). For the period 2017-2024, the ‘Road Danger Reduction Dashboard’ showed 71 people "killed on or by a bus" whereas the ‘Bus Injury Details Data’ showed 79. The Road Danger Reduction Dashboard dataset contained details of 18 ‘Bus Fatality Incidents’ that were not reflected in the ‘Bus Injury Details’ dataset, while that spreadsheet contained 26 discrete fatality incidents that were...
