Would it be possible to have a pdf copy of all the Vertical Platform Line Diagrams for London Underground, Overground, Docklands Light Railway and TfL Rail? By this, I am referring to the diagrams as displayed on page 17 of the Line Diagrams Standard that was published on the TfL Website (http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-line-diagram-standard.pdf) which display the stations and lines served by trains from the platform.

Our ref: FOI-2249-1617

Thank you for your email received on 12 November 2017 asking for Vertical Platform Line Diagrams.

Your request has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. You asked:

Would it be possible to have a pdf copy of all the Vertical Platform Line Diagrams for London Underground, Overground, Docklands Light Railway and TfL Rail? By this, I am referring to the diagrams as displayed on page 17 of the Line Diagrams Standard that was published on the TfL Website (http://content.tfl.gov .uk/tfl-line-diagram-standard.pdf) which display the stations and lines served by trains from the platform.

Unfortunately, to provide you with the further information you have requested, listed above, would exceed the ‘appropriate limit’ of £450 set by the Freedom of Information (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.

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.

We have estimated that it would exceed the cost limit to provide a response to your current request as there are hundreds of line diagrams for different TfL modes and not all are drawn to the same standard.

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 Transport for London. 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 TfL.

Although your request can take the form of a question, rather than a request for specific documents, TfL does 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.

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

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Nichols
