In response to Question 2017/3862 you stated "TfL holds a Bus Operators Forum on a regular basis. The purpose of the Forum is to bring together its contracted bus operators to confidentially share relevant business issues and news. As a result, there are no terms of reference. There are also no minutes published as subjects can be commercially sensitive and relate to negotiations to deliver value for money to Londoners." Are you satisfied that such a lack of transparency about these meetings is appropriate considering TfL's role in regulating and enforcing standards in the bus industry?

Your response to Question 2018/0316 states that TfL released the Internal Audit Report IA 17 780 "Management of Fatigue in Tram Operations Limited" to the RAIB, ORR, SNC-Lavalin and British Transport Police on 12 February 2018. As this Audit was sent to TfL managers directly involved in the Croydon Crash investigation on 15 September 2017, can you explain why this audit was not supplied immediately to RAIB and SNC-Lavalin who were still investigating at the time and whose reports were not released until December 2017 and January 2018?

In a Mayoral press release of the 21st February 2018 it was confirmed that all non-essential road improvements have been paused for two years unless suitable funding can be found. Please can you clarify whether such a decision will affect TfL being able to fund the refurbishment and strengthening work of Hammersmith Bridge?

I understand that the following bus routes cross Hammersmith Bridge: 33, 72, 209, 419, 485 and 609. Please state if there are any reasons why any of these bus routes could not operate as double decker buses other than the restriction of not being able to cross Hammersmith Bridge at present?
