I am trying to find out the environmental and financial impact of the Go Sutton Bus currently being operated by TFL in the London Borough of Sutton. I have written to Go Sutton about the mileage covered each month by the buses the amount of fuel used plus the number of passengers carried. Go Sutton have refused to answer anything on this matter and the London Borough of Sutton appear unwilling to divulge this . Could you be kind enough to provide this information? I would also be be very grateful if the Mayor can provide the fixed and variable costs of providing the buses in Sutton ?

I am trying to find out the environmental and financial impact of the Go Sutton Bus currently being operated by TFL in the London Borough of Sutton.

A previous FOI response relating to the environmental and financial impact of the Go Sutton bus service is published on our website. This addresses the same questions you have asked and, to confirm, our position has not changed in relation to the information we consider to be exempt: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-2355-1920

GoSutton temporarily suspended its service on 27 March 2020 due to the recent coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Please note the Government has announced a series of measures to tackle the Coronavirus. It is essential for London, and in particular for all critical workers, that we continue to provide a safe transport network that enables them to make the journeys they need to.

In current circumstances, we are not able to answer FOI requests readily and we ask that you please do not make a request to us at present.

Answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. In any event, please note that our response time will be affected by the current situation.
