TfL Ref: 1796-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 13 September 2019 asking for information about Facilities Working Group minutes / toilet facilities for bus drivers and bus routes with live change over points.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.  Your questions and our replies are as follows:

• Please can I have the facilities working group minutes from September 2018 to date. These are between TfL and Unite the union.

   

   

  Please find attached the minutes from meetings dated 24.09.18, 17.12.18, 01.04.19 and 18.06.19.

   

   

• Can further request an up to date version of the "blue file". This is a list of the toilet facilities on bus routes with priority and where there are no toilets.

   

   

  Please find attached the current Blue Book that we hold.  There are a number of additional facilities that have recently been provided as well as changes to the route network. These changes are not reflected in this version of the document.

   

   

• Can I also please request the list of bus routes that have a live change over point? This is where there is a change of driver to take a meal relief.  

We do not hold this information as these are managed by the bus operators.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any 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

Sara Thomas
