Request ID: FOI-2701-2324 Date published: 13 November 2023
You asked
Hi,
Are you able to provide:
1. The times of trains that ran through Wanstead (east and west bound) for the 12 month period in question. If too much data then please reduce to a reasonable period (I don't mind large files)
2. Full timetable for trains going through Wanstead (1 and 2 don't need to be tied together - IE this specific actual train is this specific timetabled train)
3. Please update the original response spreadsheet to the smallest time bucket possible - 3 hours is too long.

Thank you for your further request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 27th October 2023 asking for information about Wanstead Station train frequency.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:

I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
Please see the attached files in answer to Questions 1 and 3 (you may need to expand the width of some columns to read the data in full). The “Notes” file explains some caveats with the data.
For Question 2, TfL publishes an interactive public timetable on our website here: https://tfl.gov.uk/tube/timetable/central/, and detailed working timetables for each line are published here: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/working-timetables with extensive detail of trains operated in each direction, intervals between trains, etc. Note that although the working timetables are the default timetable under normal conditions, at times (e.g. during engineering works) an alternative temporary timetable may be put in place.
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 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.
Yours sincerely,
David Wells FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
