I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.
In answer to your first two questions, having liaised with relevant teams I can confirm that no such correspondence or reports are held by TfL. That said, note that local boroughs are required to carry out monitoring of the impacts of their Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), and Enfield Council have produced a monitoring report for their Fox Lane LTN. This report can be found on the Enfield Council website via the following link:
In answer to your last two questions, please see the spreadsheets in the folder attached. This shows departure times from each stop in both directions for each of routes 121, 298, 299, 329, W6 and W9. Any trips that were not recorded by our iBus system are marked with either ‘Operated’ or ‘Lost’ labels. The data set covers the whole of November 2022. Note that you may need to expand the width of some columns to see the data in full.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any 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.
