The 2018 Loughborough University Bus Driver Fatigue Study states at Paragraph 3.2.2: "Within London bus driving, no operator has an explicit policy for fatigue management. This might be expected as TfL does not mandate fatigue management policy.” Given that this report was conducted two years after the Croydon Tram Crash, does it concern you that it would appear no lessons about Fatigue Risk Management learned from the crash investigation were applied to London’s Bus Operation?

Further to your response to MQT 2019/14344 https://www.london.gov.uk/questions/2019/14344 what proof can you provide that the Transport Commissioner or TfL’s Audit and Assurance Committee investigated why TfL failed to provide Fatigue Audit IA 17780 to the RAIB, ORR, SNC Lavalin and British Transport Police?

Page 83 of the Fatigue Study reveals that about 5.4% (1353 of about 25000) of TfL Bus Drivers bothered to complete the Loughborough Bus Driver Fatigue Study. Do you feel that this sample size reflects a statistically-valid sample upon which to make policy? Since this small sample size represents less than 10% of Unite the Union’s stated membership of London’s Bus Drivers, does this low turnout constitute Unite the Union’s “work” both TfL and you are praising?

Further to your statement in front of Unite the Union demonstrators on 29 August that ‘trade unions have such a massive role in a civilised democracy” why have you refused to honour GMB Union’s request to conduct an Independent Investigation to review why TfL failed to supply critical Tram safety evidence to the Croydon Tram Crash investigators?

TfL’s Press Release about the Loughborough University Study of Bus Driver Fatigue stated it "was commissioned by TfL in response to Unite the Union's work to highlight the complex issue,” A review of the 10 Tripartite Meetings between TfL, Bus Operators and Unite the Union between November 2015 and April 2018 released under FOI (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tripartite_meetings) show that Unite the Union mentioned the issue of Fatigue at less than half of these meetings. Did Unite the Union present any Bus Driver Fatigue Survey Data, analysis, or papers at any of these meetings? Please provide me with copies.

TfL’s Press Release about the Loughborough University Study of Bus Driver Fatigue stated it "was commissioned by TfL in response to Unite the Union's work to highlight the complex issue,” Please provide me with copies of all studies, data, analyses of Bus Driver Fatigue produced by Unite the Union which might, theoretically, constitute Unite the Union’s “work".

The Report released on 29 September 2019 (http://content.tfl.gov.uk/bus-driver-fatigue-report.pdf) was dated May 2019. Why did TfL delay by 3 months the release of this report to the public?

The Mayor, when still a Mayoral candidate, stated ‘he would suspend Uber immediately if it emerged just a single driver did not hold genuine paperwork’. In a recent court case, Uber London were found guilty for allowing drivers to pick up passengers without adequate insurance. Why has the Mayor not carried out that threat of suspension?

In the released slides for May’s Taxi Operational Performance meeting TFL state ‘We are undertaking a wider piece of work to identify and suspend those applications that are no longer active’. Will the Mayor give an accurate figure as to how many actual applicants are currently active on the Knowledge of London?
