You asked

Dear Mr Mayor. Chadwell Heath Station. Freedom of Information request. I wish to know the completion date for fully working Platform Announcements, Information Points and CCTV security systems ,which have not worked properly since the footbridge, lifts and stairs were installed eight or more years ago at Chadwell Heath Station. There are numerous posts on the platforms completely devoid of equipment, which I assume are for mounting speakers and cctv cameras etc' like the rest stations on this line. I initially asked Network Rail for this FOI request and they have passed the buck saying that Transport for London (TfL) are the organisation to fulfil this request. I am asking you as Mayor to forward the FOI request to the relevant TfL department able to to deal with the subject because I find navigating the TfL organisation almost impossible to fathom.
