You asked

clarification Dear FOI team Thank you for your answer. I actually need both east and west but if I only can get limited amount, the westside, opposite of Centre point tower is my priority information. Would it be possible to receive both east and west? If not, could you please provide west side please ? Thank you very much. I'm currently working on my architecture studio project on Tottenham Court Road station and I need the layout of the escalator and the lift that connects the ground to the ticket hall. I've sent an email to the customer service and they gave me this email address to ask for this information. Would it be possible to receive those plans? These plans will be only used for academic purposes, in the studio during the tutorial.

Thank you for your clarification received by Transport for London (TfL) on 8 March 2019 asking for information about the layout of Tottenham Court Road tube 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.

Attached is a redacted plan which shows the layout of the station with a scale in the bottom right.

In accordance with the FOI Act we are not obliged to supply all the information as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 38. In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of some of the information in the plan would be likely to endanger the safety of an individual or individuals.

Disclosures made under the FOI Act are deemed to be a ‘disclosure to the world at large’ and whilst we make no suggestion that you would use this information for anything other than your own personal interests, it could be used by individuals who wish to cause harm or disruption to our customers, staff and network.  Additionally in light of the current treat levels in the UK being classed as severe by MI5, the public interest in protecting individuals and infrastructure is very high and our upmost priority. Whilst we recognise that there are individual and personal interests in understanding the workings of the transport network, there is not the kind of wider public interest in the disclosure of this information that exists in disclosure of information

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
