  • Reference: 2025/1042
  • Question by: Neil Garratt

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'"?

  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
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. The 20 June 2024 death of a Passenger of Unknown Age and...

  • Reference: 2025/1038

  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
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". This was based on the following figures: 1. On 4 January 2024, an elderly female pedestrian was killed in Hackney from a collision involving a Route 388 Stagecoach bus. 2. On 5 January 2024, an adult male pedestrian was killed in Southwark from a collision involving a Route C10 Abellio bus. 3.

Vision Zero: TfL's Policy of Maintaining Different and Inaccurate Datasets for people "killed on or by a bus"

  • Reference: 2025/1037
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
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?

Vision Zero: Under-reporting the number of people "killed on or by a bus", 2017-2024

  • Reference: 2025/1036
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
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...

Bus Driver Fatigue: Independent Risk Assessment of TfL Bus Driver Working Hours

  • Reference: 2025/1035
  • Question by: Neil Garratt
  • Meeting date: 20 March 2025
In your response to Mayor’s question 2025/0599, you stated "all new schedules are also reviewed by a driver operator workplace union representative before they are implemented." What evidence does TfL have that driver operator workplace union representatives have the professional training in ‘Human Factors Analysis’ to competently review "all new schedules" to risk assess their fatigue-inducing potential? Does TfL assess the competence of the health and safety qualifications of the people its contracted bus operation is entrusting with safety-critical tasks?
