Liebreich's evidence letter submitted for 2020 Investigation gave detailed explanation for how 2005-09 baseline was a 'fudge' & concluded "w/o decisive action, @MayorofLondon Vision Zero targets – which I was among those pushing for – seems highly unlikely to be achieved".
ICYMI in addition to NOT publishing Liebreich's Letter, @CityHallLabour-led investigation didn't even mention his concerns about baseline in its Final Report. 2005-09 Baseline mentioned only ONCE when Committee RE-BROADCASTS dubious data to—🙀—PRAISE TfL! london.gov.uk/about-us/londo…
QED Assembly's 2020 Bus & Tram Safety Investigation PRAISES @TfL for delayed measures it was forced to take to protect Bus Drivers from #Covid19 BUT IS SILENT on ✅Statistically High Rate of Deaths among London Bus Drivers ✅ Middle-Door Boarding NOT a risk reduction action
QED Assembly's 2020 Bus & Tram Safety investigation cursorily notes @MLiebreich well-documented concerns about #CroydonCrash#CoverUp but buys @TfL 'story' completely—despite plenty of evidence to the contrary in the public domain months before publication.
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
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?"
"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."
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?"
