Response:
1- The number of TVM machines you have acquired since 2015. (for each year until now).
DLRL haven’t acquired any TVMs since 2015.
2- The number of TVM machines in your possession since 2015. (for each year until now)
We currently have 114 TVMs active across the network, down from 146 at the commencement of the Franchise.
This excludes West Ham, Canning Town & Bank, as the TVMs located at these stations are managed by London Underground.
The numbers of active TVMs has reduced due to a few lesser-used machines being withdrawn from service, and used for parts, enabling higher usage TVMs to remain in service.
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
