Hi there, I would like to request the number of journeys made from Leicester Square station to Covent Garden station, over the most recent 12 month period you have stats available for. I would also like to request the number of journeys made from Covent Garden to Leicester Square in this same time period. So long as it does not cause my request to exceed the time limit for FOIs, please break this figure down by month, and also between peak and off peak journeys.

Thank you for your emails received by Transport for London (TfL) on 9 September 2019.

Your requests have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

FOI-1720-1920

I would like to request the number of journeys made from Leicester Square station to Covent Garden station, over the most recent 12 month period you have stats available for. I would also like to request the number of journeys made from Covent Garden to Leicester Square in this same time period.

So long as it does not cause my request to exceed the time limit for FOIs, please break this figure down by month, and also between peak and off peak journeys.

FOI-1723-1920

I would like to know how many single, pay as you go journeys were made between Leicester Square station and Covent Garden station in the most recent 12 month period you have data for. I would also like to know how many single PAYG journeys were made between Covent Garden and Leicester Sq in the same period.

As long as it does not cause my request to exceed the time limit, please break this figure down by month and into peak and off peak journeys.

Please find below the number of journeys between Covent Garden and Leicester Square stations for the last 8 weeks, broken down by week, peak period and PAYG usage. The pay as you go data covers both journeys made using Oyster and by contactless payments.

We are unable to provide the precise journey data you require for a 12 month period, as data older than 8 weeks is dissociated from an Oyster card and excludes some card types and concessions. However, if you still require 12 months worth of journeys between the aforementioned stations, please let us know and we will provide it, however it will not include all the journeys that were made.  

For more information relating to Oyster card data and how long we keep it for, please see our website at  https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/privacy-and-cookies/oyster-card
