Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 10 April 2024 asking for information about red route postcodes.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.

I am afraid that TfL does not hold the requested information. TfL does not hold a list of postcodes that the Red Routes run through; and note that there is no obligation under the Freedom of Information Act to create new information in response to a request.
