Dear Ms Howard,
Thank you for your reply. I am very surprised to hear that TfL does not have the data in question. TfL, and its predecessor organisations have been publishing data on the morning weekday peak for more than half a century. Data back to 1978 were included in Figure 11.3 of Travel in London, report 11 ( p226), TfL, 2018.

Please can I ask that you double check this data isn't available for any of the years in question?

Many thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely,

Alexander Jan (Mr)
