Our Ref:          FOI-4280-1718

Thank you for your request received on 27 January 2018 asking for information about the Northern Line Upgrade 2 Project.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and TfL’s information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

The information you asked for is available on our website using the following link:

http://content.tfl.gov.uk/pic-20170628-item07-lu-world-class-capacity.pdf

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

Following careful consideration to balance our investment priorities across the network, we have decided to focus on making the most out of our existing assets to improve productivity. Opportunities include optimisation of the train service pattern, faster turnaround times, measures to enhance the signalling system to improve train performance, and changes to the maintenance regime to increase train productivity.

In January the Northern line introduced a new timetable which provides extra capacity during our evening peak hours, benefitting 225,000 customers every day. The Jubilee line will soon introduce a new timetable to provide similar capacity benefits.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.

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

Yours sincerely
