Please supply me with the total number of PCN fines issued to bus operators for buses blocking the camera controlled junction of Masons Hill and Kentish Way, Bromley, on the 2nd of April 2019. Please include in this information sub-totals for individual bus operating companies, because some bus companies may have provided its staff with the additional guidance needed to traverse this junction. Mine did not. Please also supply the total number of PCN fines issued to ALL vehicles on the same day (2nd April 2019) at the above same Junction. This is needed to show the proportion of buses to non-buses, because it is considerably easier to traverse this junction in a car, especially if you can beat the bus across, leaving it stranded on the box and subsequently fined.

TfL Ref: FOI-0955-1920

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 July 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

Please supply me with the total number of PCN fines issued to bus operators for buses blocking the camera controlled  junction of Masons Hill and Kentish Way, Bromley, on the 2nd of April 2019. Please include in this information sub-totals for individual bus operating companies, because some bus companies may have provided its staff with the additional guidance needed to traverse this junction. Mine did not.

Please also supply the total number of PCN fines issued to ALL vehicles on the same day (2nd April 2019) at the above same Junction. This is needed to show the proportion of buses to non-buses, because it is considerably easier to traverse this junction in a car, especially if you can beat the bus across, leaving it stranded on the box and subsequently fined.

TfL may issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to any vehicle observed contravening a traffic restriction on the red route network. Buses are not exempt from yellow box junction restrictions.

When we record a contravention we do not record the type of vehicle committing the contravention so we do not hold information on the number of PCNs we have issued to buses for yellow box contraventions.

Bus services in London are run by private operators. While we cannot specifically say how many PCNs were issued to buses we do hold information on the number of PCNs issued to our bus operating companies. On 2 April 2019, we issued 105 PCNs to vehicles which were observed stopped in the yellow box on Masons Hill junction with Kentish Way, Bromley. 18 of these PCNs were issued to bus operating companies.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
