You asked

Follow on from FOI-3263-1819 Thank you for your reply. I am both shocked and disheartened by this in equal measure. As these are stated to have all been reported by station staff I presume this includes reported incidents by customers and there is no duplicate reporting or incidents reported by customers not reported by staff? How does this compare to the average for London stations? What specific actions are being taken to address and drastically reduce this number?

We answered

Our ref: FOI-3493-1819/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19 March 2019 asking for information about fare evasion at Enfield Town station.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold some of the information you require.

I can confirm that the data previously provided to you is correct and did not include any duplicate reporting or incidents reported by customers and not reported by staff.

There is not a London average for fare evasion so we are unable to provide the requested comparison.

We have revenue protection inspectors that patrol the network on a daily basis. There is a British Transport Police (BTP) presence along the network that is helping reduce this number of fare evasion incidents.

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
