Sadly, as of the 10 May, a total of 105 colleagues from Transport for London (TfL) and its partner organisations, had passed away in service due to Covid-19 related illness. Every death in service is taken very seriously by TfL. TfL has put in place a range of additional support for families and colleagues where there has been a bereavement.

TfL is unable to provide a line by line account of each death in service due to data protection and out of respect for the family of the deceased. A summary of the information requested has been provided in the spreadsheet attached.

The dates of death and the dates when these were reported vary often with TfL not having visibility over individual death certificates.
