Thank you for your request received on 19 October 2021 asking for information about audits carried out on RATP Dev London Group garage at Park Royal.
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 do hold the information you require. You asked:

During the timeframe requested, we have not reviewed driver log cards or vehicle defect cards at RATP Dev’s garage at Park Royal so there have been no observations on the availability and standard of completing these documents. A large part of this period has been impacted by the pandemic when Government guidance was to halt non-essential site activities like supplier visits and reduce the number of people in the workplace that could pass on and spread the virus. In the absence of physical site visits, however, we have worked to obtain general contract compliance assurance, through the remote review of locations such as Park Royal.
If this is not the information you are looking for please feel free to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
