TfL Ref: FOI-0773-1819
 
Thank you for your email received by us on 22 June 2018 asking for information about London Underground’s Metropolitan line.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I apologise for the delay in replying. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked:
 
How much compensation was paid to executives running the met line in 2017 - please break down base pay, bonus, any other incentives and advise how many individuals the compensation relates to, i.e. how many executives.
 
Whilst we do not recognise the term ‘executives’, I can advise that the Metropolitan line management changed in September 2017 in line with a company transformation, and five Metropolitan line senior managers received performance awards collectively totalling £19,009 in 2017. These senior managers covered both operations and maintenance.
 
The managers’ performance targets are based on ‘lost customer hours’, which is a measure of the impact on passengers of delays to London Underground services. Information on lost customer hours for each line is published in the LU Performance Almanac at: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/underground-services-performance
 
We also publish senior management salaries and performance awards via the link below to our website, which can be found under the following titles in the 2017 spreadsheet:

This applies to the following roles:
 
Fleet Manager
Performance Manager
Performance Manager
Line General Manager
Senior Project Manager
 
In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.
 
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
