Barking - Gospel Oak electrification works

  • Reference: 2016/3570
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Following your answer 2016/2465 many passengers returning to use the service in February 2017 after having endured up to eight months of closure and disruption will find that little has changed, other than platforms will be longer due to new trains not appearing for a further 15 months. Could TfL at least consider increasing the inadequate covered shelter for passengers provided on many platforms?

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Your response to Question 2016/2455 showed that TfL does not intend to introduce safety performance clauses in its bus contracts until December 2017. Why will it take so long to do this?

Bus Safety Programme (5)

  • Reference: 2016/3565
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Following your response to my Question 2016/2979 and your statement that TfL is now using "Haddon's matrix," of the 61 people sent to hospital with serious injuries resulting from bus collisions in the first quarter of 2016, how many of these people are still in hospital? Do you know if these people have returned to work or are still under treatment?

Bus Safety Programme (4)

  • Reference: 2016/3564
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
In response to Mayoral Question 374/2012 the previous Mayor stated "TfL is made aware of accidents and collisions through a reporting process, but we are not given copies of investigation reports." If TfL does not receive copies of incident investigation reports and does not know the outcome of safety complaints, how is "Haddon's Matrix" relevant?

Further to your answer to Question 2016/2979 is TfL's failure to meet its own safety data publishing goals so early in the Bus Safety Programme of concern to you? Please also clarify why TfL doesn't have basic incident data immediately on hand and is instead relying on other agencies to manage its safety reporting.

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
I understand from a TfL freedom of information reply (FOI-0734-1617) that TfL is spending over £5 million over two years on a 2-day Training Programme "Hello London" that will be attended by all of London's 24,000 Bus Drivers, geared toward improving Bus Drivers' manners. We also know from a previous Mayoral Question (Question 2014/4143) that TfL spent £1.45 million on its 2014 "Year of the Bus" celebration. However, your response to recent Mayoral Questions (2016/2487 and 2016/2455) requesting details for the budget for TfL's "Bus Safety Programme" provided no information.
