Our ref: FOI-2683-2425/GH

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 23 November 2024 asking for information about Netherne-on-the-Hill bus service.

 

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 some of the information you require.

 

We have not carried out a full study as our judgment was that given the size of the Netherne-on-the-Hill village area (approx. 600 households) and the likely cost of a TfL bus service it would be far from having a robust business case compared to other schemes we have been working on within Greater London.  

 

Please see the published response to a recent Mayor’s Question:

Please find attached correspondence with Surrey County Council. In accordance with our obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of Article 5 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation 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 which would make the processing ‘fair’.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely
