London Underground Platform and/or Line Locations and Depths
Request ID: FOI-2341-2223 Date published: 16 January 2023
You asked
To whom it may concern,
To enable a personal project that I am hoping to undertake, I would be delighted if Transport for London could provide up-to-date and accurate data regarding the locations (ideally, as GCS coordinates) and depths (ideally, in metres below sea or ground level) of respective stations, platforms and lines (ideally, as comprehensively as possible and inclusive of recent developments (e.g. Elizabeth line)).
I have been attempting to track down such data from other publicly available sources, including responses to previous FOI requests, but I found the available information to be out-of-date or inaccurate (e.g. Stonebridge Park listed on the Piccadilly line and not the Bakerloo line, several stations missing from the Metropolitan line, etc.).
I would be sincerely grateful should this information be made available, and I appreciate in advance your time and effort in handling this request.
