You asked

I would like to know the number of journeys completed by rail replacement buses during the first week of the current replacement service for the overground line from Chingford to Hackney Downs. This should not be the scheduled journeys but verified journeys by gps or equivalent monitoring, with the time and date stamp if possible.

We answered

Our ref: FOI-1401-2425/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 31 July 2024 asking for information about rail replacement bus services.

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. You specifically asked: I would like to know the number of journeys completed by rail replacement buses during the first week of the current replacement service for the overground line from Chingford to Hackney Downs. This should not be the scheduled journeys but verified journeys by GPS or equivalent monitoring, with the time and date stamp if possible.

Please see the attached operator documents used to log/record rail replacement bus services put into service for the Chingford – Hackney Downs line.

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’.

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
