The as-yet unidentified elderly woman was critically injured by a 66 bus in Church Lane on Thursday 24th October, reports Marco Marcelline

An elderly woman who was critically injured after being struck by a bus in Church Lane last Thursday (24th October) has died, the Echo can reveal.
Understood to be in her 70s, she is believed to be the eighth member of the public to die on the Transport for London network since October last year.
Police were called to reports of a collision involving a bus and a pedestrian last Thursday at around 2.25pm.
Metropolitan Police officers and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene, where they found the woman. Paramedics took her to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
Police are continuing to make enquiries into the incident. The Echo understands that no arrests have been made so far.
In addition to the death of retired nurse Grace Mecaley in Walthamstow Bus Station, fatal TfL incidents have been recorded at Piccadilly Circus, Stratford and Mile End underground stations, and at Hackney and Victoria bus stations in the past twelve months.
In a statement to the Echo, Nick Owen, TfL’s Director of Buses, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who has tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a bus collision last Thursday. This will have been a shocking incident for all involved and we have support available for anyone affected. We continue to work closely with the police and the bus operator, Arriva London, on the investigation into this tragic incident, to ensure all lessons are learnt.
“Safety is always our first consideration and we are committed to learning from every incident so that we can eliminate all serious incidents on the network and keep the public safe.”
