You asked

I would like to enquire if there is any CCTV footage held by TfL that might capture an incident on Thursday 6 March on Broad Street in Teddington TW11 8HA. This is a bus route for the 285 and 281 buses. I was knocked off my bike between 18.36 when I left Tesco and 18.49 pm.

We answered

TfL Ref: FOI-3385-2223

Thank you for your email which we received on 16 March 2023 asking for CCTV footage from bus routes 285 and 281.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. 

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested. London's bus services are operated by individual bus companies on behalf of TfL. Any CCTV on London buses is the responsibility of the company that runs that particular service or route. You should contact the companies that operate these particular bus routes, Abellio London and RATP Dev. Their contact details can be found on the TfL’s Who runs your bus web page.

Please note the footage you are after may have been over written if the footage was not requested at the time. However if the police were involved at the time of the incident, there is a better chance it would have been kept by the bus operator.

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

Yours sincerely

Eva Hextall
