TfL Ref: 1741-1819

Thank you for your email received by us on 27 September 2018 asking for information about traffic and bus journey times in relation to the Cycle Superhighway 9 consultation following your previous request for information (reference: 1371-1819).

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked for the following:
I REQUEST Journey times in the Hammersmith area, for 2021 scenario with Hammersmith Gyratory and Cycle Superhighway 9 projects in place, and for comparison, 2017 or 2021 values with no Gyratory or CS9 projects in place for the following journeys WHICH DO NOT APPEAR IN THE PUBLISHED SUMMARY MODELLING RESULTS.
1] 220 BUS - Goldhawk Road to Hammersmith Bus Station - southbound on Shepherds Bush Road
2] 220 BUS - Putney Bridge Station to Hammersmith Bus Station - northbound on Fulham Palace Road
The following requests are for journey times for general traffic
3] Fulham Road to Hammersmith Gyratory - northbound on Fulham Palace Road
4] Goldhawk Road to Hammersmith Gyratory southbound on Shepherds Bush Road
5] Warwick Rd to Hammersmith Gyratory westbound on West Cromwell Rd / Talgarth Rd
6] Hogarth Roundabout to Hammersmith Gyratory eastbound on Great West Road / Hammersmith Bridge Road
7] Holland Road to Hammersmith Gyratory westbound Hammersmith Road
8] Goldhawk Road to Hammersmith Gyratory - eastbound on King Street / Studland Road / Glenthorne Road / Beadon Road

I can advise that we have reviewed all of the modelling outputs provided at the time of consultation for Cycle Superhighway 9 and there is one additional piece of journey time information that is available, which was not made available for consultation. This is the journey time information between Fulham Palace Road and Shepherds Bush Road and is attached. However, to provide all other data would take longer than 18 hours and so exceed the ‘appropriate limit’ of £450 set by the Freedom of Information (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004. This is because the data is in raw form and would need to be analysed and extracted into a suitable format.

Under section 12 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to comply with a request if we estimate that the cost of determining whether we hold the information, locating and retrieving it and extracting it from other information would exceed the appropriate limit. This is calculated at £25 per hour for every hour spent on the activities described.

To help bring the cost of responding to your request within the £450 limit, you may wish to consider narrowing its scope so that we can more easily locate, retrieve and extract the information you are seeking. If you want to refine your request or make a Freedom of Information Act request in future, please bear in mind that the Freedom of Information Act allows you to request recorded information held by us. You should identify the information that you want as clearly and concisely as you can, specifying the types of document that you are looking for. You might also consider limiting your request to a particular period of time, geographical area or specific departments of the organisation.

Although your request can take the form of a question, rather than a request for specific documents, we do not have to answer your question if it would require the creation of new information or the provision of a judgement, explanation, advice or opinion that was not already recorded at the time of your request.

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
