Dear Crossrail Limited, I wish to receive information under the FOI in respect of the increase in passenger numbers at Maidenhead railway station when Crossrail is operational. I understand that the Crossrail business case indicates a general uplift in national rail network traffic of 61% for the lines west out of Paddington when Crossrail is operational but this isn't specific to Maidenhead. I therefore request: 1. Detail of the absolute additional patronage expected to be created by Crossrail at Maidenhead (i.e. the number of additional passenger journeys per annum ) 2. Details of how these additional passengers will arrive at Maidenhead station from their ultimate origin (for departures) or finally conclude their journeys at (for arrivals) i.e their mode of access or egress. 3. Detail of where these additional passengers are predicted to arrive from for Crossrail travel from Maidenhead and where they are predicted to travel to when arriving at Maidenhead by Crossrail.

Our ref: FOI-0576-2021/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 6 July 2020 asking for information about Crossrail passenger numbers at Maidenhead

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 see the attached report which contains the information you have requested.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

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.

The impact of current circumstances on TfL’s resources means we are not able to answer FOI requests readily and we ask that you please do not make a request to us at present.

Answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. In any event, please note that our response time will be affected by the current situation.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
