TfL Ref: 0639-1718
Thank you for your request received by us on 22 May 2017 asking for information about how many number 284 buses were terminated before their destination between the hours of 15.00 and 18.00 hrs in January, February, March and April of this year.
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.
Please find attached the route 284 trip data requested showing instances when there was a curtailment of service i.e. trips where buses did not reach their destination. The data starts with 9 January 2017 as this was the first date with a curtailment within the dates you have specified in your request. For the sake of brevity we have only included dates when there was a curtailment during the timeframe you specified, and dates in this period which ran as scheduled have not been included.
Operated trips are shown with iBus recorded timestamps at each stop. Some operated trips may not have timestamps. In this case they are coded with OP## code.
Lost trips have no timestamps and are subsequently coded with the following codes:
- TR## - lost due to traffic;
- MC## - lost due to mechanical issues;
- ST## - lost due to staff issues;
- OD## and ON## - lost due to other issues.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
