Question 2017/0037 asked you to "consider adding additional columns of data showing the make, model and year of any bus involved in a collision incident where injuries have been recorded, and, where relevant, provide an additional column to identify when an Unintended Acceleration Incident has occurred” and you responded "I will ask TfL to look at whether these details would be useful in enhancing transparency as part of its wider Bus Safety Programme”. Please provide me with documentary evidence that you asked TfL to consider adding these details and justify why this simple request was never actioned.

Questions to the Mayor and their associated responses are closely monitored by Transport for London (TfL). My published response on the london.gov.uk website is, therefore, sufficient documentary evidence in itself.

TfL is always looking for ways in which it might improve the robustness of the safety data that it collects and shares with the public and agrees that adding the additional details mentioned would enhance transparency.

Unfortunately Implementing this change is not as straightforward as TfL initially thought. TfL is exploring how best to make this additional data available to the public and will update your office directly on progress.
