Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked: 1) Does TfL keep records of staff oyster card usage history? TfL keeps the last 8 weeks of pass usage for staff / retired Oyster cards. 2) If the above is yes, where should an employee apply to get it please? An employee or retired Oyster card holder can utilise the Passenger Operated Machines in London Underground stations to check previous history by tapping their Oyster on the machine readers.
