Request ID: FOI-1986-2223 Date published: 12 December 2022
You asked
Can i please know how many of the 10p platform tickets you have sold in the period of the past ten years but broken down by station that the 10p platform ticket was issued for. If for any reason you do not have data for the past ten years than please go back as far as you can. So for each of your stations that you manage i wish to know how many of the 10p platform tickets have been sold for this station in the past ten years period.
Please include all stations (including unstaffed stations) that you manage as i believe most TOCs ticketing system enables platform tickets to be issued for any station in the UK so there is a chance that some of your unstaffed stations may have had platform tickets for them sold at other stations ticket offices. Although it is likely that only staffed stations have actually had them issued. But i am interested in data for all of your stations that these 10p platform tickets have been sold for. Also in addition please include in the data any stations managed by other TOCs that your ticket offices have sold any 10p platform tickets for.
Also note that this request relates solely to the London Overground stations and the Crossrail / Elizabeth Line / TFL Rail stations as these are the services that use the National Rail ticketing system that issues these 10p platform tickets at ticket offices. So this is about 10p platform tickets issued at ticket offices on these networks. This request is not about those £1.00 platform tickets that London Underground TVMs issue. I hope this clarifies and let me know if you need any further clarification.
