FOI request detail

Kilometrage projection for DLR and London Overground.

Request ID: FOI-2443-1819
Date published: 11 January 2019

You asked

In the new TfL Business Plan dated December 2018 there is not a projected level of kilometres (in millions of kms) to be operated in each financial year from 2018/19 to 2023/24 for the Docklands Light Railway and London Overground. I would like the kilometrage numbers to be provided please. Can I please make a plea that the authors of the published business plan adopt a common format for each mode? The kms numbers are published for buses, tube and Elizabeth Line so why not for DLR and LO?? I really don't want to have to waste my time and yours making the same request every year! Alternatively please publish an Excel workbook with the summary data in it so those of us who are interested can access it. You do this for Travel in London reports so why not the business plan?

Thank you for your email received on 15 December 2018.

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

We do not forecast operated kilometres as standard for the Business Plan because this metric is informed by the percentage of schedule operated metric that is part of our contractual terms with our operators. Therefore we do not hold the information you have requested.

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

Yours sincerely
