FOI request detail

New Cross experimental tunnel inspection reports

Request ID: FOI-2278-1617
Date published: 07 June 2017

You asked
I am searching for information relating to an experimental section of tunnel at Milton Court Road, New Cross, responsibility for which I believe was transferred to London Rail at the time various assets associated with the East London Line were transferred to that part of TfL. The tunnel concerned is an experimental length of tunnel, which is now and has always been disused, and was constructed in approximately 1971. I believe this tunnel has been subject to inspection some time around 2010, and I am seeking documentation related to this or similar inspections. In particular reports or documentation on the condition and state of the tunnel, and ideally photographs showing the state of the tunnel.

Thank you for your email received on 19 February 2017 asking for information about New Cross experimental tunnel inspection reports. I am sorry for the delay in replying.

 

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

 

Please find attached the inspection report as requested.

 

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), personal information such as names and signatures have been removed from the report, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act which would make the processing ‘fair’.

 

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.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

 

Yours sincerely
