TfL Ref: 0738-2223
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24 June 2022 asking for information about the percentages of gender and races reported for train drivers on the London Underground/Overground.
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 some of the information you require.
TfL is committed to beingfully representative of London through achieving diversity of its workforce and having an inclusive culture and working practices. We continuously strive towards improving diversity in an industry that is traditionally more highly represented by men. There are a number of publications on gender and ethnicity along with our Diversity and Inclusion Impact reports which include the progress on meeting the workforce diversity, available on our website at the following link: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/equality-and-inclusion-publications.
Please note that London Overground is operated by a private company under contract with TfL, which employs its drivers directly, so as a result we do not hold this information.
Please see the attached which shows the breakdown for London Underground by the following:
