Now that Transport for London and FirstGroup-owned Tram Operations Limited have indicated they will plead guilty to health and safety failings over the 2016 Croydon tram crash, will you now appoint an independent investigator to look into TfL’s handling of the three safety audits of the Croydon Tram undertaken by TfL in 2014, 2016 and 2017?

The indication of plea by Transport for London in response to the ORR prosecution for contravening section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work, etc Act 1974 does not alter the position as set out in my previous responses on this topic.
