TfL Ref: 2151-1718

Thank you for your web request received by us on 4 November 2017 and your email of 18 November clarifying your request and asking for information about how many TFL buses or their drivers have been fined for going through red lights or for stopping in a chequered box where no stopping is allowed over the last ten years.

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.

Firstly please note that buses are not owned by TfL and are registered to the various bus operating companies who are responsible for all aspects of the vehicles.  If a fine has been issued then it would be issued to the registered owner at their address of the vehicle and not to TfL.  Additionally, London Borough Councils and / or the Police would manage the prosecution side relating to any offences.

However we have been able to locate the statistics we do hold showing PCNs issued to buses with the contravention description: Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited between 1 January 2016 and 31 October 2017.

PCNs Issued to Buses
01 Jan 2016 - 31 Oct 2017
Data is by contravention date
Years	Operator	PCNs Issued
2016	Abellio London	126
	Arriva London	123
	Go Ahead Group	254
	London Sovereign	1

	Metrobus	27

	Metroline West	6
	Stagecoach London	57
	Tower Transit	18
Grand Total		1,367

Please be advised, the act of a vehicle passing through a red light does not fall within TfL’s enforcement remit. You may wish to contact the Metropolitan Police Service to request the information from them using the following link: https://www.met.police.uk/accessing-information/

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
