"Evidenced-based" Policy: The Pan-TfL Fatigue Management Plan

  • Reference: 2025/0978
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
Having recently reviewed a copy of a British Safety Council article "Managing the risk of fatigue: the Transport for London approach" authored by a TfL "Safety Strategy Manager", how is it possible that TfL launched its Pan-TfL Fatigue Management Plan in November 2022 without ever having conducted a "Short-Term Review of Shift Lengths, Patterns and Rotas of London Bus Drivers" as it promised in March 2021 to have completed "in the summer" of that year?

  • Reference: 2025/0977

Please will you provide me with the minutes of all ‘Pan-TfL Fatigue Management Steering Group’ meetings from its inception to the present?

TfL Fatigue Risk Management System Framework

  • Reference: 2025/0976
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
A 24 February 2022 SSHR Panel Memo promised the delivery of something called a ‘TfL Fatigue Risk Management System Framework’ that would, inter alia, identify ‘what good looks like’ and is proposed to include progressive requirements in terms of fatigue management including what: (a) must be done (based on legal and regulatory requirements); (b) should be done (existing good practice, based on known standards, guidance); and (c) could be done (emerging best practice, trials and innovation). Other than an "update" from 22 February 2023, was this framework ever published? If so, will you provide me with a copy?

Bus Driver Fatigue: Short-Term Review of Shift Lengths, Patterns and Rotas of London Bus Drivers

  • Reference: 2025/0975
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
In March 2021, TfL agreed to undertake a short-term review of shift lengths, patterns and rotas of London bus drivers, "by summer 2021". Following up on your failure to respond to my requests for this "short term review" in, inter alia, Mayor’s questions 2023/4700, 2023/1320, 2023/1319, 2022/4179, 2022/4172, 2022/3468 and 2022/2973, has the short-term review been completed yet and will you please provide me with a copy?

Refusal to use AI to assist TfL in answering simple Mayor's Questions

  • Reference: 2025/0974
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
How do you reconcile your 3 April 2024 pledge to create "150,000 jobs" in, inter alia, the AI sector in London, with your continued refusal to instruct TfL to replace time-delaying "manual analysis and review of incident descriptions" that AI can successfully complete in seconds? Will you hold TfL to a minimal AI standard?

Collisions of Buses with Bridges, 2016-2024

  • Reference: 2025/0973
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
In your response to Mayor’s question 2025/0578, you stated "Transport for London has advised that to provide all the details requested requires manual analysis and review of incident descriptions which is not possible in the time required to provide an answer for Mayor’s Questions." Given that it's taken TfL over a calendar year to answer some Mayor's Questions about its Surface Transport Safety failures, what "time required to provide an answer" does your office typically convey to TfL every month when your office forwards Mayor's Questions from Assembly Members?

  • Reference: 2025/0972
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
Further to your response to Mayor’s question 2025/0577, please will you provide a spreadsheet detailing the incidents you reported where "11 people killed or seriously injured" where “a bus has left the carriageway and mounted the pavement resulting in a collision" showing: a) the date of incident, b) the bus route, c) the bus operator’s name, d) the bus garage of the operator's bus, e) the borough where the incident occurred, f) the age and sex of the victim, g) the transport mode of the victim, h) the injury severity of the victim, and i) the TfL Incident ID?

  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
As TfL Chair, will you conduct an independent audit of the integrity of its ‘Bus Safety Performance Data’?

Vision Zero: Misleading the Public about Incidents of people "killed on or by a bus" 2019-2024

  • Reference: 2025/0970
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
By comparing the information found in TfL's "Bus Injury Details" spreadsheet and that published in the "Road Fatalities in London since 2019" spreadsheet, there are 4 deaths that appear in the "Bus Injury Details" dataset which don't appear in the "Road Fatalities in London since 2019" spreadsheet. These are a) a fatal collision involving a Route 96 Stagecoach Bus and an adult male pedestrian in Dartford on 14 March 2020, b) a fatal "Trip/Slip/Fall" incident involving a Route 106 Arriva Bus and an elderly male passenger in Haringey on 16 March 2020, c) a fatal collision involving a Route 290...
