Following up your response to Mayoral Question 2024/2237, isn't TfL outsourcing consideration of creating a London Bus Crash Investigation Unit to the Bus Centre of Excellence – a DfT-funded Bus Industry Trade Association that itself says it's "by the industry for the industry" – just 'doubling down' on TfL's – in my view – dubious outsourcing of bus crash investigations to the companies directly involved in these frequent incidents?

In your response to Mayoral Question 2023/0930, you stated, "the type of shift being worked at the time of an incident is not information that is routinely captured as part of the bus operator’s initial incident reporting to Transport for London (TfL)". In your response to Mayoral Question 2023/1655, you stated, "I have asked Transport for London to explore the feasibility of introducing 'the type of shift being worked' as part of its new incident reporting and investigation system requirements". Can we presume that TfL is now collecting this critical safety performance data from its bus contractors? If not, why...

In your response to Mayoral Question 2024/2213, you stated, "Service Controllers should consider driver welfare in all their decision making". Is it TfL policy to instruct bus operators to ensure their service controllers give bus driver welfare priority over their contracted headway targets? If so, can you provide me with a copy of this policy? If not, why doesn't this policy exist?
