I am writing to ask you pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to let me have a schedule of all the bus routes covered by Transport for London and the numbers of drivers employed with each bus route and whether there is a toilet available respectively for each bus route for use by the driver?

Our Ref:          FOI-2493-1718

Thank you for your request received on 28 November 2017 asking for information about facilities for bus drivers. I apologise for the delay in my response.

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 hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

A schedule of all the bus routes covered by Transport for London and the numbers of drivers employed with each bus route and whether there is a toilet available respectively for each bus route for use by the driver?

Please find attached a copy of our Facilities Guide which lists the facilities available for bus drivers.

Copies of our contracts are published on the following websites by inputting the route number in the keywords field and opening up the link:

https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search and

https://data.gov.uk/data/contracts-finder-archive/search/?query=bus+tender&sort_by=relevance&region=London&min_value=&max_value=&publication_date_from=&publication_date_to=&deadline_date_from=&deadline_date_to=&award_date_from=&award_date_to=

Bus schedules are also available on our website and require the requester to choose the route numbers one by one to obtain the data:

https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/bus-schedules?Query=463

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

We do not hold information on the number of bus drivers as drivers are employed by the bus operators and not by TfL.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
