Hello, I would like to obtain data on the number of passengers entering Barking station (i.e. the number of people touching in with their Oyster card), at 5 minute intervals for each day (e.g. 07:00 - 07:05, 07:05 - 07:10, etc), from 1st January 2018 to 30th September 2019.

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 29 October 2019.

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

Please find the requested information in the attached spreadsheet. Please note the data is aggregated at 15 minute level rather than 5 minute level. This is because we only retain Oyster card data for 8 weeks. Beyond this, the data is aggregated up to 15 minute interval so this is what we are providing in order to give you a consistent data all the way back to 1 January 2018.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some 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
