#CroydonCrash #CoverUp Good News: @MayorofLondon finally responds to my 14May letter re @TfL's failure to distribute fatigue audit to @raibgovuk @railandroad @BTP @SNCLavalin saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/05/tfls-f… @christianwolmar @InsideCroydon @samanthajbooth @oliviat_93 @BBCTomEdwards @V0LDN
Bad News: Mayor's response essentially same as he gave to @KeithPrinceAM June MQT asking about 23 May TfL Board Meeting where @MLiebreich stated TfL Bosses had assured him 3 times had been delivered to Police, Regulator, Investigators
I recently blogged about why Mayor's recent response given to @LondonAssembly Members was "Questionable" saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/07/croydo… (oh, & BTW @CarolinePidgeon got a similar response in March from TfL MD Surface Transport
And Keith Prince has asked the Mayor another MQT this month following up on my line of inquiry questions.london.gov.uk/QuestionSearch…
The thing is (& this relevant for @ASLEFunion @FinnBrennan @CroydonSean) a Croydon Tram Driver arrested & being investigated for #Manslaughter for 7 deaths &62 injured in 9 Nov 16 Croydon Crash. If @FirstGroupplc TOL #Safety Management Systems were SO BAD 6 months AFTER crash
then WHY? (1) did then-TfL MD @LeonDaniels & individual who led TfL #CroydonCrash investigation announce to TfL's Safety Panel on 26 June 17 "an audit was conducted" "no concerns?" it's in the bloody minutes & reported in @CroydonAd croydonadvertiser.co.uk/news/croydon-n…
then WHY? (2) did TfL's only other Safety Audit conducted in July 2014 have only 1 observation & say it was Well-Controlled? Was TfL's only other Safety Audit of TOL Drivers conducted since it purchased Tram in 2008 just a "Box Ticking" Exercise? What happened btw July14-May17?
THAT is why @SadiqKhan's 11Jul response only begs MORE QUESTIONS: A Tram Driver's being investigated for #Manslaughter. Does TfL suspicious "error" & City Hall obstructive response look like an attempt by them to frame Tram Driver for TfL Managers' & Contractors' #SAFETY FAILURE?
Just like its well-oiled #ComplicityMachine saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/01/london… frames Bus Drivers & Bus Crash Victims (pedestrians & cyclists especially) for frequent deaths & injuries increasing YoY from Buses, I'll wager Tram Driver is convicted before Bosses @Unite_Battersea @MalLunam

#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?

@SadiqKhan @TfL #LondonBusWatch Reports from some Bus Depots: "A/C units being fixed" so THANK YOU for taking immediate action @MayorofLondon BUT as TfL Chair @Twitter reports from Bus Drivers & Volunteer Campaigners shouldn't be necessary #LeaveTheBunker @CarolineRussell
@SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @Twitter @CarolineRussell As TfL Chair, you shouldn't have to be embarrassed by Bus Drivers calling you on @LBC @mrjamesob #SpeakToSadiq to complain about #BusSafety issue which should not exist b/c TfL's Claire Mann told @oliviat_93 "A/C required on all new buses since 2012" standard.co.uk/news/transport…
@SadiqKhan @TfL @MayorofLondon @Twitter @CarolineRussell @LBC @mrjamesob @oliviat_93 Think about it: if it wasn't for @Unite_Battersea tweeting pictures of the temperature in his bus cab on Social Media AND Bus Driver calling into #SpeakToSadiq AND Olivia's scoop in the Standard, would you—as TfL Chair—have even known about the A/C issue?

@RichieVeitch Ta! Wish I didn't have to campaign re #CroydonCrash but @TfL @MayorofLondon REFUSE to respond to my request for investigation why @RAIB @ORR @BTP @SNCLavalin didn't receive @FirstGroupplc TOL Fatigue Audit. @Heidi_LDN? saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2018/05/tfls-f… @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM
@RichieVeitch @TfL @MayorofLondon @raib @orr @BTP @SNCLavalin @FirstGroupplc @Heidi_LDN @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM It's not like @SadiqKhan doesn't know about it...he was Chair of 23 May TfL Board Meeting when @MLiebreich ask for #CroydonCrash #CoverUp to be investigated so that "lessons can be learned" "won't happen again" @ValShawcross was at the same meeting too.
@RichieVeitch @TfL @MayorofLondon @raib @orr @BTP @SNCLavalin @FirstGroupplc @Heidi_LDN @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM @SadiqKhan @MLiebreich @ValShawcross . @LeonDaniels inspired me to look into #CroydonCrash #CoverUp by announcing to SSHR Panel YEAR GO TODAY "An audit of First Group’s fatigue management processes had taken place, these were found to be satisfactory & did not give rise to any concerns." content.tfl.gov.uk/sshrp-20170928…

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
