Ideally the data set would include: - List of all the docking stations that were available upon opening (315 according to tfl publication released on the day of the opening) - Each of their exact locations - Number of docking stations available at each location Many thanks,

Thank you for your request of 4th December 2020 (amending your original request of 28th November 2020) in relation to cycle hire docking stations.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.

Specifically you asked for:

A list of all the docking stations that were available upon opening (315 according to tfl publication released on the day of the opening);

Each of their exact locations;

Number of docking stations available at each location.

And then, in addition:

The date of the opening of each docking station;

Would it be possible to get the list of all available docking stations as opposed to just the 315 that were first opened in 2010.
