Dear TfL/LUL Please many I request a copy of: (a) Technical drawings showing all of the measurements, including wheel set/bogies, under frame detail, car/wagon body and any other detail. (b) Any photos of the listed item. (c) And further information on the brief history of modifications and use today. On the following Engineering Stock: 1. Metro Cammell Battery Locomotives L20-L32 built in 1964/1965 including original build technical drawings, modifications during the 1980s/1990s (buffer arrangement and headlights) technical drawings and the Tube Lines Modifications from 2009 (new cab arrangement) technical drawings. 2. Metro Cammell Battery Locomotives L15-L19 built in 1970/1971 including original build technical drawings, modifications during the 1980s/1990s (buffer arrangement and headlights) technical drawings and the Tube Lines Modifications from 2009 (new cab arrangement) technical drawings. 3. BREL Doncaster Battery Locomotives L44-L54 built in 1973/1974 including original build technical drawings, modifications during the 1980s/1990s (buffer arrangement and headlights) technical drawings and the Tube Lines Modifications from 2009 (new cab arrangement) technical drawings. 4. Procor General Purpose Wagons (GP901-GP941) from 1985 including pallets/modules/containers. 5. BR Spoil and Ballast Wagons (SB231-SB290 - former BR Turbots) from 1996 6. The proposed CRRC wagons (66 Open and 5 Flat) due 2018/19 including pallets/modules/containers. Questions arise. What dates did the Battery Locomotives (L15-32/44-54) receive modifications to their directional lighting and what calendar years did the locomotives receive their liveries from: London Transport Steam Crimson Lake, 1980s Yellow, 1990s Blue/Yellow and todays Yellow. Are the 57 GP Wagons modified/overhauled from the earlier GP wagons? What are the CRRC built open and flat wagons replacing in the current engineering stock? Many thanks for your efforts in advance.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 11 February 2018 asking for technical information about London Underground rolling stock. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

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

Please see the attached datasheets for technical detail relating to battery locomotives, as well as further illustrations on headstocks, wheelbases, buffers and diagrams of various wagons for example. Whilst the catalogue does not provide the level of detail requested, it is the closest information we have been able to locate for the requirements of your request and we hope you find this useful.

Additionally, in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act which would make the processing ‘fair’.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
