You asked
Dear TfL
I'm requesting information on data regarding bus trips to and from tube stations on certain sections of the London Underground lines. From current understandings, current data is already been held on the Northern Lines Morden branch as well data on bus trips to and from both North Greenwich and Brixton stations.
I've attached a document for reference which can be found below. They are on pages 30, 31 and 32.
I would like the same data if possible to be provided on the following lines.
1. Bus trips to and from all stations on the Piccadilly Line between Finsbury Park and Cockfosters as well as the stations between Hounslow Central and South Ealing.
2. Bus trips to and from all stations on the Victoria Line between Finsbury Park and Walthamstow Central.
3. Bus trips to and from all stations on the Northern Line between Archway and High Barnet as well as the stations between Edgware and Golders Green.
4. Bus trips to and from all stations on the District Line between Wimbledon and Putney Bridge.
5. Individually bus trips to and from Kilburn and Northolt stations.
If possible, I would like the data to be provided on a map, similar to the image I've attached, If not, a data provided surveying top destinations and origins of bus trips to and from the stations as requested above.

Thank you for clarifying your request.
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 some of the information you require.
We do not hold the maps requested but we do have some data that depicts the current demand similar to the original maps.
Please find attached spreadsheets showing:
A list of the stations covered by the data and their coordinates
A longer file covering the total number of trips that boarded at the bus stops and then subsequently entered the requested Tube stations (the data is the total for 28 days in 2023 Period 9)
Note the data is derived from connecting the legs and trips made by smartcards (Oyster and contactless). It does not cover all trips (eg use of magnetic tickets and incomplete trips) and it relies on travellers having used the same card to make both the bus and the tube journey.
Please let me know if this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason.
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
