#StopKillingBusDrivers Updated @WSWS_Updates Report says @ucl denies any connection w anti-#Covid19 Bus Driver cab screens that IMO both @TfL & @unitetheunion imply UCL designed & "signed off" before Front Doors re-opened to passengers wsws.org/en/articles/20… @TheMarmotReview
"@TfL has refused to provide scientific evidence to back up its claims that their new screens “significantly reduce” the risks to drivers."—@WSWS_Updates
"Buses only returned to front-door boarding when analysis from University College London confirmed that TfL’s safety improvements to screens and the cleaning regime substantially reduces the risk to drivers." READ @MayorofLondon @TfL statement here: london.gov.uk/coronavirus/co…
"On May 29, @unitetheunion gave its “qualified support” to the resumption of front door fare payment" citing "extensive work by a multidisciplinary team from @CTS_UCL & @CEGE_UCL to assess the risks for drivers in their cabs”—@WSWS_Updates
"Only buses that have been fitted with new screens, developed in conjunction with experts at @ucl and that completely seal the driver's cab, will return to front door entry and should be on the roads of the capital." READ @unitetheunion statement here unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…
& here's @UCL 2 June Press Release: "Analysis by UCL (University College London) has found that safety improvements made to screens by TfL have made it possible to return to front-door boarding along with collaborative work with UNITE and bus operators" ucl.ac.uk/civil-environm…
BUT @WSWS_Updates reports "On Jun29 UCL responded to earlier questions from WSWS w a single line statement “The screens were not designed by UCL. The role of UCL ....was to simulate & quantify airflow & droplet concentrations into & out of driver’s cabin under various scenarios"
Meanwhile, @CarolinePidgeon asks @MayorofLondon "please publish...advice from @ucl upon which @TfL based its 29 May decision to return to front-door boarding & any drafts, analyses & full correspondence (including emails) associated w this decision." london.gov.uk/questions/2020…
& @MayorofLondon responds 5 days later "Officers are drafting a response" - WHAT'S THE MYSTERY @SadiqKhan @Heidi_LDN???
& @KeithPrinceAM asked @MayorofLondon "Please provide advice upon which @TfL based its 17APR decision to commence to middle-door boarding & any drafts, analyses & correspondence (including emails or handwritten notes) associated w this decision" london.gov.uk/questions/2020…
& @MayorofLondon responds 5 days later w "Officers are drafting a response" - Seriously @MayorofLondon @Heidi_LDN! Now that @ucl denies "signing off" the screens which you, @TfL & @unitetheunion imply they did, exactly WHAT responses are TfL paid officers drafting? Remember THIS? 
And if, as it seems clear that Bus Driver Cabs weren't designed or signed off by @ucl as safe against #COVID19...WHO DID SIGN THEM OFF? Are Bus Driver Cabins safe enough for Bus Drivers working 10hr shifts NOT to wear Face Coverings like @unitetheunion demanded & @TfL accepted?
