My concerns relate to some poor driving practices I've observed by bus drivers who fail to indicate when they are turning at junctions and also blocking signalled pedestrian crossings, creating obstruction and safety hazards for pedestrians including babies in prams. One example is the junction of Station Road in Harrow served by a number of routes (including 140, 340 and 186 etc). Buses going from the direction of Debenhams on Station Road (Harrow Town Centre) and turning left on the Station Road going towards Harrow Civic Centre travel at some speed and often fail to indicate when turning and then...

I regularly get serious complaints from my constituents and local ward councillors about the state of bridges and underpasses. The complaints relate to the poor upkeep (both in terms of decorative state as well structural conditions / water seepage etc) due to years of neglect by TfL and other operators. These raise very valid concerns about safety, environmental impact and visual appearance of the area. Additionally some of these underpasses/bridges provide access to areas people use for their regular walks. What are TfL's policies for regular (cyclical) repairs and maintenance and how much is TfL able to influence other operators...
