Everything you have asked for can be found (to the nearest whole km, mile or minute at

http://www.londonbusroutes.net/details.htm

As you would expect, journey times vary enormously according to time of day. I would imagine that these have been extracted from the working timetables or similar; don't know about journey lengths.

thanks i am hoping to get a format like CSV or XLSX so I can use the data.

You will only get it if by chance that set of data exist in that form. Can you not just extract the data from the html page into .xlsx or .CSV form? Personally I'd try that before asking an overstretched team for the data (though maybe you have).

Dear Mr Turnbull

 

TfL Ref: FOI-0262-2122

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 7 May
2021, asking for a list of TfL bus routes with journey length and journey
time.

 

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 find attached scheduled distances (in metres) and scheduled running
times (in minutes) of standard, school, mobility and temporary bus routes,
grouped by direction and day type. The spreadsheet is based on 07/05/2021
- 09/05/2021 data.

 

Please note 24-hour routes are reported separately as day routes and night
routes.

 

We have included the number of scheduled trips for each direction as there
are quite a few routes with selected shorter or longer trips. Each record
is clearly marked with the first and last stops of each trip pattern.

 

The scheduled running times are shown as minimum, maximum and average
running times per each trip pattern. This is because early morning / late
evening trips are scheduled to run faster than day time trips.

 

If you are considering submitting a further request please think carefully
about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering
FOI/EIR requests will require the use of limited resources and the
attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where
requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by
the current situation.

 

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.

 

Yours sincerely
