New: With only 9 months of road safety data now published by @TfL it’s pretty certain that 2025 will have the highest No. of serious injuries since records began, by a long way. This despite £Bn spent, slower speeds and @willnorman endlessly saying it’s getting safer.

@josephpowell Dockless e-bikes simply do not work. They should be docked and locked like the Santander hire bikes. So they cannot be knocked down or blown over or create dangerous trip hazards or block footways. We are more than willing to meet you to explain this in more detail.

With the thinnest of evidence of the actual safety benefits of floating bus stops, Sec. of State @Heidi_Labour relies on “improving the perception of safety” to excuse excluding disabled people from their bus services. Their real fears are ignored.

It’s over a month now since TfL took down a report that said their data found older & disabled people were not put off buses by floating bus stops. A wild assertion from an analysis riddled with errors.

NEW: Open letter from our Passenger and Disability Rights Coalition, demanding public interest duties at the centre of the Railways Bill. Many thanks to @CHinchliffMP for tabling these crucial amendments - we hope @Heidi_Labour will meet with us to discuss them further.

In his secret briefing to @TfL board members, @willnorman, London’s cycling commissioner recognises Hackney as being a strikingly successful cycling borough, but demonstrates his ignorance as to how come. Hackney’s success has not been down to “cycle infrastructure” as he claims.

We now know about this because @Rosslydall was tipped off about a secret briefing that @Willnorman gave to Board members and @TfL refused to publish in response to an FOI request. @davehill @rosslydall @ellybaker @zoebillingham

Anyone walking (or cycling) in central London will be well aware of the danger posed by some reckless cyclists, often riding hired e-bikes. Now TfL’s collision/injury data is starting to catch up…

There should be a proper scrutiny of how despite more than a £billion being spent & many 20mph speed limits, the risk of serious injury is increasing. @willnorman is hiding behind comparisons with a peak in Olympic years 2010/14. Here is what is really happening.@EllyBakerAM

@ZoeBillingham Thank you for your time as chair of the panel. It was good to see at least some short term trends. FYI. Here are the long term trends that demonstrate their problems, particularly since 2016.

.@TfL’s Board members on the Safety and Security Panel today received a paper reporting a 14% increase in serious cycling injuries for financial period 3. 2025 will have the highest number of serious cyclist injuries since records began. Vision Zero is for the birds!

Cyclists running red lights installed where pedestrian was killed. More than half of club cyclists are jumping red lights installed in a Royal Park where an elderly female pedestrian was hit and killed, analysis suggests.

I am a big supporter of @Keir_Starmer, but allowing @Heidi_Labour to ignore the access needs of bus passengers and particularly disabled people in favour of largely fit young men is diabolical.

@PA Be grateful if you could ask a question on floating bus stops please. @Keir_Starmer Government has failed blind people with its new Guidance produced for the new Bus Services Act 2025. Its needs to be withdrawn immediately.

How it started this week. Our brilliant team @newdawn75 @InclusiveBuild handed in our petition to get the Bus Services (No2) Bill aligned with BS 8300-1 Section on Bus Stops 'Pedestrians should have access to & from the bus stop without crossing cycle routes' @10DowningStreet
