We answered
TfL Ref: 3335-2223
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 10 March 2023 asking for information about London Underground Duty Books.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. You asked for:
copies of the current Duty books for Morden & Golders Green train crew depots for personal use
I can confirm we do hold the information you require. However, in accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply this information as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 38(1). In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of the information requested would be likely to adversely affect the safety and security of TfL employees.
Our approach to the disclosure of this information has changed following a security review. In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of the information you have requested would be likely to endanger the safety of an individual. The use of this exemption in relation to similar information was considered by the Information Commissioner in Decision Notice FS50607218, which was issued on 17 March 2016. The Commissioner upheld both the application of the exemption and the balance of the public interest. We consider the same arguments apply to your request. Whilst we make no suggestion that you would use this information for anything other than you own personal interest, disclosure of this information to you has to be regarded as a disclosure to ‘the public at large’, this information could potentially be obtained and utilised by individuals who may wish to use this level of information to endanger London Underground personnel.
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
Jasmine Howard FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
