Dear Transport for London,
There were some rumours that the Route 34 will not route via Meridian Water following a Business Case that it will result in " 3,000 " broken links if were rerouted.
If you contain the document of the business case, would it be possible to request it under the Freedom of Information Act ( FOI )?

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 22 July 2021 asking for information about bus route 34.
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 a draft study document dated September 2015 which we believe is the document you are referring to in your request. The document sets out network planning ideas only and does not include any business cases. Furthermore, the data used to develop the 2015 study is now out-of-date. The 2015 study will be superseded by a new review of the bus network relative to the Meridian Water development which will be undertaken later this year.
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
