In all these posts, when people say the brakes "failed", what actually happens? The pedal goes to the floor? The pedal.is rock hard? The pedal.behaves normally but nothing happens?

Happens to who? The person concerned really shouldn't be driving if it's confusing.

Seemingly the pedal was normal, but pressing didn't do anything.

Never worked on a modern hybrid cars braking system, do they still have the split line hydraulic system, with the pedal connected directly to the master cylinder?

It can happen to anyone. TfL have published a detailed report on how to reduce instances among London Bus drivers.

In this 'detailed report ' what advice do they give to their drivers in order to "reduce instances"? Find another job? Don't drive...ever? I suppose a trolley boy at the supermarket would be beyond their scope too, too many decisions to make about which way to turn.
