I am doing some research on bus entries count using data from : http://tap.data.tfl.gov.uk/ . Since I am doing spatial analysis, I need the coordinates of each bus stop and I could not find a proper table to link these data sets to their coordinates. I have `bus-stops-10-06-15.csv` but I do not see a common column to identify the stations. I would be very thankful if you give me some guide.

Dear

TfL Ref: FOI-0646-1819

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 11 June 2018.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require. You asked:

I am doing some research on bus entries count using data from : http://tap.data.tfl.gov.uk/ . Since I am doing spatial analysis, I need the coordinates of each bus stop and I could not find a proper table to link these data sets to their coordinates.

Unfortunately there is no common column to both datasets where this is recorded, therefore we cannot provide the information you require.

The bus stops file you used is a sample from 2015 therefore I would recommended you sign up to our Unified API at https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/open-data-users/ which will give you access to an updated version. In that file there is a column called ‘Stop_Area’ which lists travel modes, i.e. interchange points on our network that can be used to link stations to bus stops. However, not every station has a bus stop so even if you link up the stations and stops it won’t be possible to get bus boarder numbers from the tap files.

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.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
