TfL Ref: FOI-1821-1819

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 10 October 2018.

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 the information you requested. You asked:

Please provide the time series data you hold for London Overground ticket offices with regard to measurement of the busyness of ticket offices on London Overground stations in terms of, but not only ticket sales per hour and other measures used by ORR, DfT and TfL to measure the busyness and viability of ticket offices.

We measure the busyness of ticket offices through ticket office transactions, which are recorded in a pan-industry system called Lennon. There are no other hard measures of busyness set out by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) or Department for Transport (DfT).  

The information you requested is available in appendix A of our statutory consultation submission, available on London Travel Watch’s website http://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/documents/get_lob?id=4618&field=file, where the average ticket office transaction data by location by 15-minute timeband over a one-year period at 51 of our 65 ticket offices is shown. 

In accordance with s21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply the requested information if it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

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

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Nichols
