Dear #TfL, your phrase “we apologise for the inconvenience it’s causing” is widely overused. No any living being on this planet would be able to feel that when using it so often. Do something about it!

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL confirms that NIBSbuses do not hold a London Service Permit (LSP) for route 269, and no changes have been made to relevant policies or enforcement. Although a 2023 investigation made no progress, TfL will now look into the matter urgently. The B186 in North Ockendon is not exempt from the LSP scheme. All public roads within Greater London require services not part of the official London bus network to operate with an LSP—no public roads are exempt.

Two red and orange icons, possibly indicating a bus stop or point of interest, are visible on the route near the top. Key roads like the B187, M25, and B1421 are also marked, along with place names such as Upminster, Cranham, Corbets Tey, North Ockendon, West Horndon, and Bulphan. The map includes an "OpenStreetMap" attribution.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

A recent FOI request sought details on the "Red Bus Moquette," including any variants and specifications related to vehicle interiors, especially connections to the New Routemaster bus design. The request referenced a previous document mentioning the moquette and asked for any additional information held by TfL. #TfL responded that, aside from the already published document, they do not hold any further information or records relating to the Red Bus Moquette or its design influences. The request was received on 10 June 2025, and the response was issued on 3 July 2025.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
Fare evasion across #TfL services cost an estimated £130m in 2022/23, £190m in 2023/24, and £188m in 2024/25. Data for 2025/26 is expected later this year. Fare evasion remains a major concern, with highest estimated rates in 2022/23 seen on Trams (8%) and the lowest on Buses (1.9%). TfL has deployed over 500 revenue inspectors using technology and intelligence-led operations to tackle the issue. Fare evasion is a criminal offence, punishable by fines of up to £1,000 and a criminal record. Successful prosecutions reached 15,436 in 2022/23, 18,570 in 2023/24, 13,823 in 2024/25, and 2,088 up to June 2025. TfL is working towards halving fare evasion by 2030, highlighting links between non-payment, antisocial behaviour, and wider criminality.

Today marks 25 years since the formation of the Greater #London Authority (GLA) and #Transport for London (TfL).

This follows 14 years after the abolition of the Greater London Council, with #TfL taking over from London Regional Transport, which had been under government control since 29 June 1984.

In addition, London Regional Transport retained responsibility for the London Underground, as its transfer was delayed until July 2003 due to its reorganisation under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), as part of the government's policy in an attempt to upgrade and modernise the system. London Underground Limited then became an indirect subsidiary of TfL. London Regional Transport was subsequently dissolved on 16 July 2003.

The image is a structured informational chart titled "Greater London Authority." At the top, the name is prominently displayed in bold capital letters. Beneath it, the word "Logo" is highlighted in blue. The chart is divided into sections with black borders. The first section, "Type," describes the organisation as a "Devolved regional governance body of London" with "None" listed under term limits. The second section, "History," gives the founding date as "3 July 2000" and names the predecessor as the "Greater London Council," with the years "1965–1986" in brackets. Blue text is used to denote clickable links.
The image shows a section of a white-background webpage containing information about Transport for London. At the top is the title "Transport for London" in black text. Below the title is a large blue circular symbol with a horizontal blue bar across the middle, resembling the London Underground roundel. Beneath the logo, a table lists various details: "Abbreviation" as "TfL," "Formation" with "3 July 2000" and a link to the "Greater London Authority Act 1999," "Type" as "Statutory corporation," "Legal status" as "Executive agency within the GLA," "Purpose" as "Transport authority," "Head office" at "5 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN," and "Region served" as "London, England."
The webpage features the official London government site from 16 February 2001. At the top is a header with the word "LONDON" in bold, slightly overlapping images of London landmarks such as Tower Bridge and City Hall. Beneath this is a navigation menu with links titled "home," "about," "site map," "London," "The Mayor," and "London Assembly." On the left-hand side is a green sidebar titled "Greater London Authority" and "Related organisations," offering links to sections such as "Transport for London" and the "Police Authority." The main content area announces the Mayor of London's inauguration speech, dated 3 July 2000. It includes details about the theme "London in the New Economy" and references the transfer of powers to the Mayor and the GLA. Contact details for media and general enquiries appear at the bottom.
The image is a webpage from the Transport for London (TfL) website dated 3 July 2000. The page header has a light grey background with logos and navigation links. At the top are icons and text for various transport services such as buses and the Tube. The main heading, "Transport for London made simple," is displayed prominently above the navigation bar, which includes links like "About us," "What's New," "Press Centre," and other options. On the left-hand sidebar, several clickable items such as "TfL Board Meeting" and "Press Centre" are marked with bullet-point arrows. The central section shows the title "About us Press Centre 3 July 2000" followed by detailed text outlining TfL’s role and initiatives. It describes the transition of transport responsibilities to TfL and sets out plans for improved transport strategies under Mayor Ken Livingstone’s leadership. The page also details TfL’s responsibilities for London’s public transport network and strategic road management, including contact details for the Transport for London Press Office at the bottom.

“Please mind the gap between the train and the platform” - seriously, even here where the platform is completely straight, in level with the train and there's a gap of like 2 cm? Shouldn't these announcements be a bit more targeted?
Or was this station reconstructed without updating the announcement?

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
The cost of the Freedom Pass scheme is calculated using the "Revenue Forgone" method, estimating the fare revenue that would have been received without the free travel concession. Journeys on all #TfL services, including buses and the London Underground, are counted with average fares applied per mode. Trips unlikely to occur without the scheme are excluded. Additional costs related to bus services are included.

For 2025/26, the Freedom Pass Concessionary settlement paid by London Boroughs was just under £308 million. Separate administrative costs for the scheme are borne by the boroughs and are not included in this figure.

#Transport for #London (TfL) is celebrating 20 years of OUTbound, its #LGBTQ+ colleague network, with staff and activist portrait posters across the network. Founded in 2005, OUTbound supports over 900 members and promotes LGBTQ+ inclusion across the transport industry.

TfL will join the Pride in London parade on 5 July with a bus and staff wearing T-shirts reflecting this year’s theme of activism and social change. It marks TfL’s 20th consecutive year supporting the event.

Those attending are advised to plan ahead using the #TfL Go app or Journey Planner, as central London will be busy and some stations may be exit-only.

Posters highlight contributions from staff and organisations such as Switchboard, ACT UP, and Lady Phyll. TfL also continues to promote the reporting of hate crime and remains committed to the Mayor’s vision of eliminating identity-based hate in the capital.
