Absence of Bus Safety Incident Time-Series Data in Quarterly Health and Safety Report presented to Transport for London SSHR Panel on 20 June 2018

  • Reference: 2018/1722
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
This quarter's health and safety report submitted to Transport for London's Safety Sustainability and Human Resources Panel on 20 June 2018 contained no bus safety data. Does Transport for London have any plans to re-issue the quarterly Health and Safety Executive report with this data included?

Improving Pedestrian Safety in London

  • Reference: 2018/1721
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
Will you consider producing a report on "Improving Pedestrian Safety in London" using the same data-rich presentations that Transport for London provided in its recent "Improving Cyclist Safety in London" as presented to the Safety Sustainability and Human Resources Panel on 20 June 2018?

Data Sets used to produce graphic information on Page 10 of "Improving Cyclist Safety in London" Report

  • Reference: 2018/1720
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
Page 10 of a Transport for London (TfL)report entitled "Improving Cyclist Safety in London" presented to the Safety Sustainability and Human Resources Panel on 20 June 2018 shows that buses and coaches are the most disproportionally involved in Killed or Seriously Injured incidents with cyclists. Can you provide me with the complete underlying data sets used by TfL to produce all the graphic information shown on that slide?

"Administrative Error" and Fatigue Audit Report IA 17 780 (1)

  • Reference: 2018/1719
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
In your response to my Question 2018/1312 you stated: "TfL has strengthened its procedures to ensure more robust checks are undertaken on whether any internal reports could be of interest to external investigating bodies." Please provide me with a copy of the official communication which confirms how these procedures have been "strengthened" so an "administrative error" which you report to have occurred with IA 17 780 will not occur again.

Safety Performance Measures in FirstGroup Tram Operations Limited's Croydon Tram Contract

  • Reference: 2018/1718
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
In your response to my Question 2017/3872 you stated: "there is currently no need to amend" Tram Operations Limited's 30-year contract with Transport for London to include safety provisions. Given the nine substantive safety issues revealed in Fatigue Audit IA 17 780 and your stated Vision Zero policy, have you now changed your initial position on this matter?

Crossrail HGV Safety Policy after February 2015

  • Reference: 2018/1717
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
In your response to Question 2018/3011 you stated: "there have been no further fatal incidents involving HGVs working on the Crossrail project since Mayor's Question 2016/0383 was asked in February 2016." Since Mayor's Question 2016/0383 showed the last fatality involving a Crossrail HGV was in February 2015, can you identify any working practices or policies put in place by Crossrail since that date which might have produced this better safety performance? Are there any lessons to be learnt that can be applied to other construction projects and, if so, will you ensure Crossrail publicise them?

Monitoring of CO2 on the London Underground

  • Reference: 2018/1716
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
Please set out the reasons why Transport for London does not routinely monitor levels of CO2 that can build up on London Underground trains?

Blocking of pedestrian crossings by vehicles

  • Reference: 2018/1715
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
A constituent has contacted me to ask whether Transport for London will consider extending the yellow box system used to keep free vehicle crossings to pedestrian crossings. They point out that if the traffic is congested, large vehicles such as lorries or buses, frequently stop across pedestrian crossings and block from view the 'green person' crossing sign. This means that pedestrians can neither safely cross when they are entitled to, nor, see when the symbol has changed from red to green.

Central Line train service

  • Reference: 2018/1714
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
Please set out when current investment plans will deliver improvements in the frequency of service of trains on the London Underground between West Ruislip and White City.

  • Reference: 2018/1713
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
What contingency planning has Transport for London carried out to ensure that the eight Class172 diesel multiple units (172001 - 72008) will not be transferred to West Midlands Railway before eight New Class710 electric multiple units have entered service on the Barking to Gospel Oak Overground service?
