- Not meeting Vision Zero targets for reducing road deaths and serious injuries
- High number of reported incidents of workplace violence and aggression (WVA)
- Mental health and musculoskeletal conditions remaining the largest cause of long-term absence
- Increased electricity and gas consumption due to the opening of the Elizabeth line
- Fare evasion remaining the biggest trigger for WVA
- Under-reporting of WVA, particularly verbal abuse
- Lower solved rate for violence and public order offences
- Climate change risks affecting assets, operations, services, staff, and passengers
