You asked
I was on the 102 bus on the xx September 2021. This occurred in Cambridge Roundabout East Side. The bus I was on reversed as it was going to crash into another bus. When it reversed, everyone in the bus got wobbled and fell off my chair. It caused a bruise in my arm, pain in my chest and it made my knee even worse that it was before. So I want the footage of this incident.

Thank you for your request of 14th September 2021 asking for CCTV footage from a 102 bus.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“I was on the 102 bus on the xx September 2021. This occurred in Cambridge Roundabout East Side. The bus I was on reversed as it was going to crash into another bus.

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 102 bus is run by Arriva London North Ltd. They can be contacted by phone on 020 8271 0101; via their website here: https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/our-services/arriva-london or by post at: 16 Watsons Road, London, N22 7TZ.
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,
David Wells FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
