  • Reference: 2025/4319
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 18 December 2025
The Taxi and Private Hire Action Plan 2025 promised real support for the taxi trade – but eight months on, nothing has changed. The Plan said TfL would challenge unfair taxi bans. When will TfL step in and force councils like Camden to reopen bus-only routes to taxis?

Taxis were banned from Tottenham Court Road even after locals backed keeping them in the trial. Now Camden wants to repeat the same mistake in Holborn. What have you done to stop this ban taking place and will you order a review of all taxi bans across London?

  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 18 December 2025
Drivers have spent tens of thousands of pounds on upgrading to electric cabs to meet your clean air targets. Yet councils are forcing them into long detours that increase congestion, emissions and fares. How is that fair and will TfL compensate drivers or fight to restore access?

  • Meeting date: 18 December 2025
Camden Council and Westminster City Council allow buses to travel through Proctor Street, Drake Street and Bloomsbury Way, however, they do not allow black cabs to travel through them. Will you lobby both Camden and Westminster Councils to not exclude black cab from these key roads?

Bus Deaths Data Reporting – 2015

  • Reference: 2025/4313
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 18 December 2025
Further to your response to Question 2025/3722, Column B in Table 3 of the Data Annex to “Casualties in Greater London during 2024” is clearly labelled “People killed in or by a bus”. The line for 2015 implies that a total of 12 people were "killed in or by a bus” in London that year. Does TfL's implied 2015 Bus Fatality total include an Elderly Male Passenger, who fell after a Go Ahead 191 Bus moved suddenly without warning on 23 October 2015?

  • Reference: 2025/4311
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 18 December 2025
Following up on Question 2022/2981, on 6 June 2016, a senior coroner for the Northern District of Greater London issued a Regulation 28 Report for Prevention of Future Deaths ordering TfL 'to introduce a system that alerts passengers that the bus they are on is about to move'. After the press reported that a police investigation would be conducted for the 28 December 2024 death of an elderly passenger after falling on a Route 13 Bus Operated by RATP, the press announced that TfL was planning to bring back "the Routemaster bell" to warn passengers as per the Coroner's 6...
