Bus Operators & Safety (2)

  • Reference: 2015/2999
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 16 September 2015
Of the 15 bus operators whose buses were involved in accidents that required a hospital visit there was a big disparity. Arriva had an accident requiring a hospital visit every 267,453KM, while for HR Richmond the figure was 1,863,593KM. What reasons could there be for such a big disparity in these figures between the 17 operators?

Bus Operators & Safety (1)

  • Reference: 2015/2998
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 16 September 2015
Using TfL figures for 2014 I compared the number of collisions between buses and other road users that required a hospital visit with the amount of bus KMs run. I then broke this down by operator and their appeared to be a significant variation in performance among the 17 operators. Has TfL undertaken any similar work?

What precisely do you mean by "passive provision" for a later tunnel? Where exactly would the bypass railway start? Where would you build the replacement Barking Riverside station? How much current public investment would have to be written off?

  • Question by: Navin Shah

Do you acknowledge the widespread cross-party criticism that terminating the Barking Riverside railway at a viaduct station is not good use of public money, because the line can never be extended south of the Thames?
