Request for maps
Request ID: FOI-2851-1718
Date published: 06 February 2018
You asked
It has come to my attention that many maps on tfl.gov.uk are out of date. An example is the Tube and Rail Map which lists a version from 2017/05, whereas the latest in stations are 2017/12 and presumably now 2018/01. Please can you provide me with a copy of any and all transportation-related maps you have internally, in their latest form, please do not modify them prior to release unless necessary. This request is clearly quite broad in scope, so I wish to help you reduce it.
To reduce the size of this request, please:
* Provide digital copies (including scans) only as appropriate, there is no need to post any material or provide audio/accessible versions. PDF is the most appropriate format, but PNG/JPG and similar imaging formats are also acceptable.
* Provide only the latest version of maps, but do include any "maps of the future"
Unless the effort to you is negligible, please do NOT include the following unless they are listed in the specific include list below (this should substantially reduce the size of the request.)
* Road maps (unless they form part of a wider services map)
* Bus/tram maps (unless they form part of a wider services map)
* Maps that show areas substantially outside the London Zone (you can treat the London Zone as the area where Oyster cards can be used) and do not show the London zone.
* Santander cycle maps (unless they form part of a wider services map)
* River maps (unless they form part of a wider services map)
* Congestion charging maps
* Low emission zone maps
* Car club maps
* Oyster shop maps and associated maps.
* Dedicated visitor and tourist maps
A wider services map here should refer to a multiple services map that shows two or more services on a single map. Bus and tram can be considered a single service for the purpose of this question.
If it is easier to include any excluded map above than remove it, please include it in the set.
Whilst I believe this request should be achievable in full, please specifically include the Latest Form of the following maps (the online tfl.gov.uk resources appear to be out of date.)
* Tube Map
* Tube and Rail Map
* London connections map (aka, Geographically accurate representation of London Tube and rail lines: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/london-connections-map)
* Any large scale overview bus maps that show a 'whole London' perspective.
* Inter Infraco Track Boundaries and similar maps (as per https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/175555/response/438758/attach/3/LU%20Track%20Map.pdf)
* Railway (including Underground, etc) maps, including line planning maps.
The above list is not exhaustive, any other map would be appreciated. The latest update is particularly important.
Should you believe you do not have time to provide copies of all maps (for example, paper copies require scanning), please provide a list of all maps available that are not provided and we can work to narrow the request suitably.
We answered
Our Ref: FOI-2851-1718
Thank you for your request received on 9 January 2018 asking for a copy of any updated maps.
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 for:
* Tube Map

The Tube and Tube & Rail maps on our website are the current ones:
https://tfl.gov.uk/maps/track?intcmp=40400
In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.
* London connections map (aka, Geographically accurate representation of London Tube and rail lines: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/london-connections-map)
We have not updated the London Connections Map since it was published online, therefore the one at the above link is the most up to date version.
* Any large scale overview bus maps that show a 'whole London' perspective.
We do not hold a large scale network map, instead various digital products that map out London and its various bus routes are used. The most up to date maps are available on our website:
