Thank you for your email of 3rd November 2020 asking for information about an incident on the 418 bus from Epsom to Kingston.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

TfL does not hold the requested information. London's bus services are operated by private bus companies on behalf of TfL. Bus drivers are employed by those companies rather than TfL, and CCTV on London buses is the responsibility of the company that runs that particular service or route. If you require access to CCTV footage from a bus or information about staff you should contact the company who operates that particular route. A list of bus routes and the company that operates them can be found on our website here:

As you can see, the 418 is run by London United Busways Ltd. The company can be contacted via its website here:  London United Busways Ltd
