We answered

Our ref: FOI-1328-1920/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 5 August 2019 asking for NTfL documents.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

Please find attached the Stabling Migration Plan as requested. Please note, the strategies outlined in this document are subject to change and may not reflect current TfL plans.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

In accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply the NTfL Piccadilly line Track Vision document as it is subject to statutory exemptions to the right of access to information, under Section 38(1)(b) of the Act. This document shows the layout plans for depots and stabling sites, and gives details of our contingency arrangements for running services. This information would assist someone with malicious intent to cause disruption and subsequent economic damage, and could adversely affect the safety and security of TfL employees and members of the general public.

Whilst we make no suggestion that you would use this information for anything other than you own personal interest, disclosure of this information to you has to be regarded as a disclosure to ‘the public at large’. This information could potentially be obtained and utilised by individuals who may wish to use this information to cause disruption or harm to the London Underground network.

The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, but in this instance the public interest in applying the exemption, in order to minimise risks to operational resilience, safe operation of the London Underground network, the welfare of staff and members of the general public, outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

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.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
