Hi,
I require CCTV footage from the front of a bus that might've captured a collision between a cyclist and a black taxi.
The taxi registration is xxxx.
I'm afraid I'm not sure which bus it was at the time but it was at stop Salamanca street, stop SK between 16:15 and 16:22 on the 18th of May.
It was either the 77 or 344.
It would've captured the moment of collision between the cyclist and the taxi.

Thank you for your request of 18th May 2023 asking for bus CCTV footage.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
I am afraid that TfL does not hold the requested information. London's bus services are operated by private bus companies on behalf of TfL. CCTV on London buses is the responsibility of the company that runs that particular service or route, and any recorded footage is held by those companies rather than TfL. If you require access to CCTV footage from a bus you should contact the company who operates that particular route. A list of all routes and the companies that operate them can be found on our website here:
As you can see, the 77 bus is run by London General Transport Services Ltd. They can be contacted via their website here: https://www.goaheadlondon.com/index.php; by phone on 020 8545 6100; or by post at:
