Request ID: FOI-2177-2122 Date published: 20 January 2022
You asked
I would like to request a spreadsheet containing easting northing bus routes for each individual bus route and the associated stops currently operating under TfL.
I would like to request each bus route seperately, including the stops along the route.
Any format that can be mapped is acceptable, for example, latitude and longitude, easting northing, KML or similar.
I am aware this information can be obtained through a feed for developers however I cannot find a single centralised list with stop locations. I would like to be able to use the data to view individual bus routes and the location of the stops along them on a map.
