FOI request detail

Request ID: FOI-0003-1718
Date published: 27 April 2017

You asked

Hi, There seem to have been a reduction in the number of trains running on the Piccadilly line in the last six months with greater waits between trains. Please could you confirm the number of Piccadilly trains running through central London per day for the January-March 2017 compared to the number January-March 2016? If possible it would be good to know whether there have been any changes to numbers of trains at peak times in addition to the numbers at off peak times. Many thanks.
