Low hanging trees hitting top deck of bus
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS4635279.
The whole section between barnet church and borehamwood needs reviewing for low hanging trees as these are regularly striking the bus and i feel unsafe on the top deck. It isnt the usual leafs and twigs i refer to whole branches that are striking and scraping the roof and side of the bus, i dont want to be a passenger when an incident occurs but this is my daily commute. This was reported before but i was simply told to contact the two councils involved. This is unsatisfactory. If you are contracting and operator to run double deckers on a route which is no longer suitable you are entirely liable if any civil action is brought for compensation as a result of injury from the use of a double deck in an unsafe place. Already the branch bangs are so loud they hurt my ears, that alone can lead to the kind of hearing damage for which tfl would be liable to compensate. Please review this query.
