Hey @UnitetheUnion! What do you think of this Question from @KeithPrinceAM to @MayorofLondon? @LondonBusForums london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
🚌 Bus drivers can have to go hours without access to a toilet; forced to hold it in or use bottles or hedges. Unite bus workers have been campaigning for years for access to clean lockable toilets and hand washing facilities. This is another huge win for the capital's bus drivers.
Authorities and operators across the UK and Ireland must now follow suit

Sadiq Khan seemed quite excited to tell us that his planned new state-owned bus company will specify only British buses. Something that would be illegal if we were in the EU: is he turning into a Brexiteer?

You know Tom, it's almost like I *already knew* back in June what the truth was, and worded my question to expose the Mayor's duplicitous nature!
As you know perfectly well, loads of buses don't have AC but back in June the Mayor decided to pretend they did hoping to fob me off.

IMHO since this preventable KSI Bus Crash happened under PM's watch as @MayorofGM, his concern about @TfL Bus Safety Problems certainly justified, but maybe he should take a look at his own record? Any Systemic "Lesson's Learned" or just Blame the Driver? manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
London bus drivers will march on TfL HQ on 5 November as Sadiq Khan faces renewed pressure over their Bill of Rights.
Despite unanimous London Assembly backing, the 12-point plan remains outside TfL’s Framework Bus Services Contract.

229 pedal confusion incidents recorded on London buses. TfL acknowledges the figure may be higher.
Despite unanimous Assembly backing, Sadiq Khan resists adding the Bus Drivers' Bill of Rights to TfL's framework contract.

Correction: in August I said London bus drivers accidentally pressing the wrong pedal causes 2 crashes per month. It turns out it's 3.

Well done on a great piece. All Londoners should thank you for your work on London's bus safety scandal. In the end it will break into the open, like the Post Office scandal, and get fixed. You are bringing that day a bit closer.
Recorded hate crime on London's transport network rose 36% to 2,396 offences between January and August 2026, TfL figures show.
TfL is launching free bystander training to help passengers intervene safely.

TfL plans to seek approval for a DLR extension to Thamesmead in early 2027.
The scheme would bring two new stations and tunnels beneath the River Thames.

BTW @MayorofLondon told @KeithPrinceAM in February 2022 that Route D7 didn't have a toilet at 1 end. Sooo..@TowerHamletsNow Councillors now motived to save Route D7 did nothing for 4+ years re Poor Working Conditions of @TfL Bus Drivers working on it? london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
Tower Hamlets councillors have unanimously opposed TfL’s proposal to axe route D7.
The plans would also change routes D6, 135, 277 and SL4 across the Isle of Dogs.
The consultation closes on 16 November.

53 new toilets promised for London bus drivers.
But analysis of TfL's own data identifies NINE routes without suitable toilet access.
After years of complaints, is TfL doing enough?
