Request ID: FOI-2759-1718
Date published: 30 January 2018
You asked
I would like to know when the business case for the possible revival of reopening Camberwell Railway Station is available for the public to see as this has been delayed ever since last year. I have been told by a Transport for London Customer services official that this was meant to be completed by the end of December 2017.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan had also commented back in July 2017 that it should of been ready and published in autumn 2017.
I would also like to have specific documentation (documents) relating for the business case for the station.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 1 January 2018 asking for information about Camberwell railway station.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
I can advise that the business case document for Camberwell Railway Station will be published very shortly, expected by mid February 2018. I apologise that the previous timeframe given has not been met.
Therefore in accordance with the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply you with the information you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act. In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information you have requested is intended for future publication.
This exemption is subject to a public interest test, which requires us to assess whether the public interest in applying the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. In this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.
