FOI request detail

Bus performance - Route 484

Request ID: FOI-2721-2425
Date published: 03 December 2024

You asked

Third complaint on this bus route after years or poor performance and seemingly no effort by tfl to hold Go Ahead to account for running a decent service. Today the bus was 25 minutes late and then never actually arrived despite Google maps saying it had departed. The one behind was 14 minutes late. Rather than a stock answer as I have received the last two times I'd like to know the performance data on this route and more generally on Go Ahead. What is your process for ensuring the company runs a proper service? Have attached the first bus that was 25 minutes late and then never arrived.
