Request for Information on Tube Car Numbers and Corresponding Models
Request ID: FOI-3406-2324 Date published: 18 January 2024
You asked
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would kindly ask for information as to which vehicle number of tube cars (for example 340933) belongs to which model. A table or similar showing the numbers of each model would be much appreciated. I don’t need information as to where the cars are stationed or other details, so there is no security risk for you. I ask for this information because since May 2019, I’m writing down the Numbers of every vehicle of public transport I have used. A few times per year, I put them all together in an Excel table and try to link them to models and the specific provider of public transportation. These document have great emotional value to me.
Thanks so much in advance.
