TfL Ref: FOI-1507-1819 

 

Thank you for your  request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 4 September 2018 asking for information about Crossrail. I apologise for the delay in replying to you. 

 

Your request has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold some of the information you requested. You asked: 

 

1. On the first day of every month since January 2017, how many engineers and builders* employed by TfL were working on the Crossrail? 

We do not hold this information. Our records do not display workers employed by Crossrail Ltd by profession, so we are unable to search for terms such as “engineer” or “builder” as you’ve asked for. In addition, some of the employment information for the engineers/builders you describe is held by Crossrail Ltd’s contractors. 

 

1. How many engineers and builders are currently employed by TfL? 

      1233 engineers are currently employed by TfL. 

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal. 

 

Yours sincerely,
