Please could you supply me with intermediate running times in seconds for all tube lines, DLR, London Overground and TfL Rail services. This should be formatted exactly like the intermediate running times for the Victoria Line found in this document on page 2: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/vic42.pdf Furthermore, could you supply me with the coefficient for each of the modes that estimates the running time between stations during peak periods. Intermediate running times are not given for DLR, London Overground or TfL Rail services and since some timetabled times between stations are not of a consistent interval, I cannot judge the intermediate running time in minutes between the stations, hence why I am asking for the time in seconds. I also want to remove any ambiguity of special cases that the timetable accounts for, such as increased running times due to a specific platform used, etc.

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 17 November 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:

Please could you supply me with intermediate running times in seconds for all tube lines, DLR, London Overground and TfL Rail services. This should be formatted exactly like the intermediate running times for the Victoria Line found in this document on page 2: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/vic42.pdf

Furthermore, could you supply me with the coefficient for each of the modes that estimates the running time between stations during peak periods.

Please find the requested information for the London Underground and DLR running times attached. With regard to LU, comments show for each link the scheduled wheel turn time between stations together with dwell times, for all times of the traffic day.

Regarding TfL Rail and London Overground services, the timing information is available on the Network Rail website using the following links;

https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/the-timetable/

This web site has links to the working timetable. This will enable you to establish the running times between stations as it includes various allowances such as pathing time, engineering allowance, performance allowance and adjustment factors. The front pages of each working timetable explain the symbols and conventions used. It should be noted that the national network is planned to 30 seconds (i.e. half minute) granularity not to single seconds.

https://www.networkrail.co.uk/industry-and-commercial/information-for-operators/

This web site contains links to the Train Planning Rules (TPR). These set out the mandatory timing points right across the National Network and where specific allowances such as adjustment factors and engineering allowances should be applied.

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

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
