In your response to question 2024/0759, you state "serious incidents involving buses continue to be investigated separately as part of the Notification and Investigation of Major Incidents (NIMI) process", yet, in your response to (a) questions 2019/17344 and 2019/17333 you make it clear that NIMIs are prepared by the same bus operator that conducted the initial investigation and, (b) to question 2022/5364, TfL's contracted bus operators submit NIMIs for less than 0.5% of the total number of bus crashes recorded by TfL. Bus drivers, in confidence, have provided me with copies of NIMIs and, in my view, these documents essentially...

Over the years, in your many responses to Mayoral Questions (e.g. questions 2023/0911, 2023/4725 and 2020/2699) you have highlighted the importance of formal tripartite meetings between TfL, the bus operators and Unite the Union as an "established forum...to discuss, inform and consult on matters affecting the common operation of London’s bus network—where—"the Bus Safety Programme is regularly on the agenda" and which provides "an opportunity for unions to raise and discuss safety issues". However, from your recent response to question 2024/0760, can I correctly assume that since 2023 'formal discussions' between bus operators, Unite the Union and TfL are now...

In your response to question 2024/0188, you stated that TfL Buses Incident Response Unit "proactively carry out risk assessment of bus routes, road works and roads used for temporary diversions to ensure continuous safety." However, when, in question 2024/0761, I asked for 'recent examples of 'proactive' risk assessments carried out by the Unit for each of the categories you identified', you responded by providing an example of a 13 February 2024 risk assessment at Temple Fortune Lane in Barnet between Hoop Lane and Finchley Road conducted by a Network Traffic Controller (NTC). Are a "Network Traffic Controller" and "TfL Buses...

Following up on your response to question 2024/0761, will you provide me with a copy of the risk assessment at Temple Fortune Lane in Barnet between Hoop Lane and Finchley Road conducted by a Network Traffic Controller (NTC) on 13 February 2024?

Following up on your response to question 2024/0761, please will you provide me with all communication (internal and external emails, handwritten notes, internal and external memos) associated with the decision for a Network Traffic Controller (NTC) to carry out a risk assessment at Temple Fortune Lane in Barnet between Hoop Lane and Finchley Road on 13 February 2024?

The data provided in your helpful and quick response to question 2024/0764 shows that during the four-year period from 2016/17 to 2019/20, 91 people were sent to hospital from bus garages after safety incidents, while during the four-year period from 2020/21 to 2023/24 year to date, only 6 "serious injuries" have been recorded at bus garages. Although you warn that "the two datasets below are not directly comparable" because TfL changed the 'metric' between the periods, you failed to provide any documentation that might explain the reasoning behind TfL's decision to make this substantive change. Can you provide the decision...
