Dear Sir or Madam,

I am currently researching the london underground and its evolution
over time, and i was wondering if you could help me by passing on
the following information;

a) How many disused stations are on the london underground network,
their names, current uses and locations (if locations cannot be
given (understandably) then locations on the line (ie. between
station X and station Y).

b) The names of the companies / bodies that are currently in
possession (or were at time of sale) of any sold stations.

c) Current live stations (underground network including surface
stations)

d) Any future expansion plans or future plans for station
development.

As i understand it, there is a cost limit to the FOI requests. If
this request exceeds that amount, then if possible, could we go
through the list in order until we reach that cost.

Yours faithfully,

Tom. Bryant

Dear MrBryant

Thank you for your email. You asked a number of questions that have been considered under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. I will try to provide as much information as possible to assist with your enquiry. You asked.

a) How many disused stations are on the london underground network,
their names, current uses and locations (if locations cannot be
given (understandably) then locations on the line (ie. between station X
and stationY).
b) The names of the companies / bodies that are currently in
possession (or were at time of sale) of any sold stations.
c) Current live stations (underground network including surface
stations)
d) Any future expansion plans or future plans for station
development.

I have attached a list with this information. You may also be interested ina book published by the London Transport Museum called London's Disused Underground Stations whichprovides further informationwhich you may find useful.

Traditionally disused stations were used for the purposes of tours. This was via London’s Transport Museum, Learning and Development and LU Film Office. Visits were organised for their interest and historic values or to support operational learning. In 2000 London’s Transport Museum announced that they would be discontinuing tours for staff and public due to increased security, health and safety regulations. This was as a result of advice given by Operational Security who, whilst discouraging tours, understood that visits would remain at the discretion of the Group Station Managers as the Landlords of stations.These stations are still owned by London Underground and some are used by our Film Office for commercial filiming only.

I haveattached the current London Underground Tube Map which lists the name of all "live" underground stations.

With regard to your final question - please can you clarify this part of your request. London Underground is currentlycompleting major upgrade works to transform the tube system. If you you can specificy what line or location you areinterested in I canprovide the further information you require.

Please contact me again if you need any help in the future.

Yours sincerely,
