TfL Ref: 1914-2223

Thank you for your request received by us on 7 November 2022 asking for information about the Location Coding System (LCS) meterage for various Transport for London’s networks.

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

Please see the attached zip file providing LCS meterage data for the London Underground and Docklands Light Railway networks.

We can advise that the spreadsheet provided for Croydon Tramlink services provides chainage in metres, as this is the closest document that we could provide for your request, given that this network does not have an LCS. 

Additionally, we do not use LCS meterage data on the Elizabeth Line, nor do we hold the information you are seeking for the London Overground network. In these circumstances, you may wish to contact Network Rail directly, as they are the data holders for mainline rail infrastructure. Please email [email protected] for further assistance.

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
