Our ref: FOI-0439-2122/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 30 May 2021 asking for Tube Station Timetable Posters and Fares & Tickets Guides.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
Please find attached copies of the most recent London Underground and Docklands Light Railway Timetable posters, along with the current Staff Guide to Fares & Tickets, as requested.
Please note that some information relating to Revenue Inspection has been redacted from one of the Guides as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 31(a) – Law Enforcement. A disclosure under the Freedom of Information act is a disclosure ‘to the world at large’ and whilst we make no suggestion that you would use the information for anything other than your own personal interest, in this instance the exemption has been applied as information regarding revenue inspection procedures could be used by people wishing to avoid paying fares. The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, but in this instance feel that balance lies in favor of withholding the information to ensure that fare evasion is prevented wherever possible to protect public funds. If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Graham Hurt FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
