You asked

Hello, I (and many others in Camberwell, Greater London) am interested in understanding the work completed to date, and expected developments, regarding a business case for reopening Camberwell Railway Station. Your response to a previous FOI request (TfL Ref: FOI-2247-1718 on 1st December 2017) stated "I can advise that the business case document for Camberwell Railway Station will be published by the end of the year." However as far as I am aware, no document has yet been published. I would be grateful if you can: 1) Provide details of any documents commissioned and produced to inform the business case document for Camberwell Railway Station, including links to the documents where these are public, since 2012. 2) Provide an update on the progress, and expected publication date, for the business case for reopening Camberwell Railway Station.
