Dear Ms Smith

 

TfL Ref: FOI-3363-1920

 

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 3
February 2020.

 

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 do hold the information you require. You asked:

 

Please provide me with all the minutes of the facilities working group for
toilets for buses.  Only from Jan 2019 to date.

 

Please find the meeting minutes attached. The meetings took place on
01/04/19, 18/06/19 and 18/12/19.

 

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data
Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by
section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal
data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first
principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and
lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when
the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not
satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

 

This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute
exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest
favours use of the exemption.

 

How many routes are still without a toilet in London buses?

 

For routes with a running time of greater than 150 minutes or routes where
there are toilets which are not open at all times bus services are
operating , the number is approximately 20. However, the number is due to
be reviewed and updated and therefore may be subject to change.

 

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

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

 

Yours sincerely
