On 26 September TfL put out a press release that exclaimed "Data shows road fatalities reduced four times more in London than rest of Great Britain". However, TfL's own published data shows that fatalities from bus collisions in Q1 2024 were the highest in a decade and, in the first 8 months of 2024 (7) were nearly equal to that for the total of 2023 (8). Do you agree with me that comparing TfL's safety performance record on vehicles over which it has no control is intended to disguise the fact that collision fatalities from vehicles over which it has...

On 20 October 2020, in response to my Mayoral Question 2020/3655 – which pointed out TfL's longstanding practice of publishing victim-blaming narratives about bus crash victims on TfL's website before any inquest had concluded – you undertook that "TfL will review the wording used to describe an incident prior to any inquest taking place and update the publication accordingly." On 6 September, BBC's Transport Correspondent reported that the TfL Commissioner had apologised to a bus crash victim's family for recording and perpetuating a false narrative about the victim's death. To support your Vision Zero 'ambitions' and as TfL Chair, will...

Further to press reports and official TfL correspondence to which I was copied, I understand a meeting between TfL officials and relatives/next of kin of pedestrians killed by TfL buses took place on Friday, 10 May 2024. From this correspondence, I know that the TfL officials present announced they would be meeting with TfL directors on Monday, 13 May 2024, to discuss the 10 May meeting and the concerns the participants raised. Please will you provide me with any minutes, email correspondence and any documentation produced by TfL by TfL for or as a result of that 13 May 2024...

On 3 September, the BBC's Transport Correspondent reported that you had 'apologised' to a bus crash victim's family. What exactly did you 'apologise' for? How was this apology conveyed? Do you agree with me that, since the first quarter of 2024 saw the highest number of pedestrian deaths from bus collisions during a single quarter in a decade, if your apology was not conveyed in a formal letter or in a face-to-face meeting with the bus crash victim's family, that it might not be worth the paper it's not written on?

In Mayoral Question 2024/2877, I specifically asked you to provide me with 'TfL's specific policy that instructs bus operators to ensure their service controllers give bus driver welfare priority over their contracted headway targets.’ Can I assume that your inability to release this basic safety information to me is a confirmation that (a) this policy does not exist or (b) bus service controllers give priority to contracted headway targets over bus driver welfare?

My Mayoral Question 2024/2876 specifically asked you to provide me with "the criteria, code of practice or agreed timings applied to bus schedules for ensuring that "adequate stand time" is provided to bus drivers at termini on the 25 percent of London bus routes where TfL fails to provide bus drivers access to a toilet." Your response referred me to your response to Mayoral Question 2024/2873 which did not answer my question. Does this information even exist? How do you reconcile your inability to release this basic safety information to me with your 'ambitious' Vision Zero goals?

How do you reconcile TfL's support of Neighbourly Lab's "Bus Staff Appreciation Campaign" and the University of Sussex's research on "saying hello to a bus driver" with the horrendous conditions suffered by bus drivers revealed in the 21 September My London investigation headlined "Whistleblower London bus drivers ‘exhausted’ and ‘use faulty vehicles’ in ‘dangerous’ conditions"?
