Request ID: FOI-0171-2122 Date published: 18 May 2021
You asked
I would like to obtain the speed data from the buses on the W3 (Finsbury Park to Northumberland Road) route in London between 27 April 2020 and 27 April 2021. I would also like TFL to clearly indicate on the data where the data applies to a stretch of the route where the speed limit is 20 MPH.
Separately, I also want the speed data from these buses on the same route, in the same time period, on the stretch of the route that runs on Ferme Park Road and Stapleton Hall Road. Pleas also provide the average speed maintained by the W3 buses on Stapleton Hall Road in the same time period.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 27 April 2021.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested. The iBus data that we hold contain average bus speeds between stop points. Unfortunately, we are not able to link average bus speeds to roads with specific speed limits in place.
We can provide average bus speeds between stop points, if this would be of interest to you.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
