Request ID: FOI-3920-2324 Date published: 22 February 2024
You asked
Hi,
I'm looking to get hold of an up to date CSV (or similar) file containing all the adjacent connections on the TfL Underground, Overground and Crossrail network, which includes the following information:
Origin Station
Destination Station
Connection Time
Line
Direction
For example
{line:"District",direction:"Westbound",origin:"BARKING",destination:"EAST HAM",time:2.87},
A similar request was answered in 2008 here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/distance_between_adjacent_underg
but I am looking for an up to date version that includes the DLR, Elizabeth line and overground connections
Any additional information about interchange times at stations would also be useful (Eg Euston (Northern Line, Southbound CX branch) -> Euston (Northern Line, Southbound Bank branch) but is not essential!
Best,
Peter

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 29 January 2024 asking for information about [summary of request].
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require – we do not hold a file providing the information you have requested. Information on the connection times between adjacent station can be obtained from our online Journey Planner or from published Timetables. However we do not hold this data in a way which we can readily provide to you.
With regard to the interchange times, we are in the process of releasing this information as open data and this is expected to be available on the Open Data pages on our website: https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/open-data-users/our-open-dataafter the end February 2024.
Therefore in accordance with the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply you with the data you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act. In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information you have requested is intended for future publication.
This exemption is subject to a public interest test, which requires us to assess whether the public interest in applying the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. In this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
