Question for @SebDance (& @Heidi_LDN @ValShawcross): Is @TfL use of 2005-9 Baseline to measure @MayorofLondon 'progress' CHEATING? More Good Scrutiny from @NeilGarratt @LondonAssembly!
ICYMI @NeilGarratt asked @TfL Chief Safety Officer Lilli Matson about TfL's dubious use of 2005-09 Baseline to measure Vision Zero 'progress' at 11Jan22 #AssemblyTransport session. TBH Matson's response didn't inspire confidence
Garratt's line-of-inquiry amplifies evidence @MLiebreich sent to (then @LondonAssembly Transport Chair) @NavinShah2016 24Jan20. AFAIK @CityHallLabour-led Committee never published Liebreich's letter. Why not?It was a formal evidence submission! saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-sa…
#LondonBusWatch @YouTube clip of @NeilGarratt's masterful questioning of @TfL Commissioner Andy Byford about #VisIonZeroLDN & Bus Driver Fatigue at 14 March 2022 @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport Meeting @therealdojj @KevinMustafa16 @skinnerzboy @MalLunam
Byford tells @NeilGarratt "Well I haven't seen the SPECIFIC pieces of evidence to which you referred" OK...
1) Here's Bus Driver Lorraine Robertson telling @CarolinePidgeon "We [Bus Drivers] don't know anything about #VisionZeroLDN" cc @SebDance
1) Here's Bus Driver Lorraine Robertson telling @CarolinePidgeon "We [Bus Drivers] don't know anything about #VisionZeroLDN" cc @SebDance
2) Here's Lorraine telling @NeilGarratt "We're just Bus Drivers...maybe [@TFL, Bus Contractors] think we don't need to know anything about #VisionZeroLDN?"
"Vision Zero & Bus Safety" Open Letter to @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport @CarolinePidgeon from former Bus Driver @KevinMustafa16 cc @KeithPrinceAM @JoanneMcCartney @sianberry @NeilGarratt @NJROnline @unmeshdesai @ShaunBaileyUK @ellyannab @anne_clarke saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2022/01/vision…
"I am grateful that the Committee invited former London Bus Driver Lorraine Robertson to answer questions on 14 December 2021: it’s the first time I can recall one of us being so honoured to participate in a public session."
"As has been noted Lorraine, the only reason she was able to speak freely about the long-standing poor working conditions suffered by London Bus Drivers is because she does not have to worry about being fired by her employer for doing so." saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2022/01/vision…

"I am grateful for being invited to speak to the London Assembly Transport Committee on 14 December 2021 as part of its Investigation of the Mayor’s Vision Zero Programme."
"Further to my testimony, I believe the Transport Committee should consider making the following recommendations to ensure that the @MayorofLondon #VisionZeroLDN goals are incorporated into Bus Driving in London."
#VisionZeroLDN THREAD 14Dec21 @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport Q&A Extracts w former @TfL Bus Driver Lorraine Robertson & @UniteLondonEast John Murphy. ENTIRE 2hr45mins here @KevinMustafa16 @therealdojj @skinnerzboy @MalLunam @BussesJames @BusSafetyRep
1. @CarolinePidgeon asks Lorraine "How successful has #VisionZeroLDN been for Bus Drivers?" Lorraine responds: "We never hear about it"
2. @NeilGarratt asks Lorraine "Where do you think #VisionZeroLDN Message is not being passed on" Lorraine: "We don't hear about it from our managers, @TfL or @unitetheunion reps, so somewhere above us. We're only bus drivers. Are we supposed to know?"
IMO @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport must conduct URGENT SCRUTINY of @TfL @MayorofLondon (Chair) Oversight of #Covid19 Risk to Bus Drivers! @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM @sianberry @ellyannab @NeilGarratt @NJROnline @anne_clarke @JoanneMcCartney @unmeshdesai @ShaunBaileyUK

#AssemblyTransport @Heidi_LDN sticking to @TfL's story told in 24 July 18 Memo to Board content.tfl.gov.uk/24-july-2018-b…
@Heidi_LDN @TfL which is entirely contradicted by @MLiebreich letter to @MayorofLondon on Monday saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2019/09/bombsh…
@Heidi_LDN @TfL @MLiebreich @MayorofLondon Now @GarethBaconAM asks about timing of missing Fatigue Audit IA17780 - @MLiebreich says "odd coincidence" that reports come out after Safety Panel Meetings. 
#CroydonCrash #CoverUp @MayorofLondon @ValShawcross @Heidi_LDN: Kindly note 23May18 @TfL Board Minutes don't properly reflect what @MLiebreich actually said ICYMI "3 Times on 3 Separate Occasions IA 17780 had been sent to @raibgovuk @railandroad @BTP"
Regrettably, narrative City Hall & TfL PUSHING since I exposed #CoverUp January 2018 saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/01/london… isn't supported by any FACTS. saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/08/re-tfl… @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM #CroydonCrash 7 People DIED, 62 Injured. #ShineALight NOW HT>@christianwolmar @V0LDN
In May18, I formally asked @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport to call City Hall & TfL Officials in for Formal Questioning saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-cr… Why wasn't IA 17780 sent to #CroydonCrash Investigators, Regulators & Police when it'd been sitting in Top Managers' hands for months?
IMO that TfL site is a #DeadLetterOffice saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2017/06/london… report to @metpoliceuk ASAP beta.met.police.uk/report/report-…
and report it to John Trayner MD @TheGoAheadGroup London cc'ing TfL's Bus Bosses, @willnorman @CarolineRussell (of @LondonAssembly) @StopKillingCycl & me. The only way to ensure TfL & CityHall don't just #CoverUp for TfL Contractors' #SafetyFail is to shine a light on it.
In my experience, it's clear that TfL => Trade Association set up to protect its Bus & Tram Contractors instead of regulating their Safety Performance. Read @CarolinePidgeon's & @KeithPrinceAM's MQTs sometime & you'll see how far City Hall & TfL go to protect them from #Scrutiny
