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
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…

This week, Judge found Bus Driver "Not Guilty" farrarsbuilding.co.uk/matthew-kerrui… @CalumRutter @Heidi_LDN
A quick review of TfL's online Bus Safety Data for Q4 2017 tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publ… doesn't show incident in question, so public doesn't know which Bus Company or Route was involved...and press photo in @SurreyComet doesn't show it either.
