Tube journeys using OSIs (2020)

Roedd y cais yn rhannol lwyddiannus.

Dear Transport for London,

I would like to request information about tube journeys that involve out of station interchanges (OSIs).

a) What was the most commonly used OSI (in either direction) in 2020?
b) What was the least commonly used OSI (in either direction) in 2020?

If possible, could you provide estimates for the number of people using such OSIs as you did in response to the same question posed for data in 2019 (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/t...)

I'll note that whilst I believe this information is in the public interest, I don't believe it to be urgent, so I understand if due to pandemic or financially related constraints you are unable to provide this data within the timeframe set out by the ICO.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Finlay Cox

Dear Mr Cox

 

TfL Ref: FOI-0463-2122

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 5
June 2021.

 

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. You asked:

 

I would like to request information about tube journeys that involve out
of station interchanges (OSIs).

 

a) What was the most commonly used OSI (in either direction) in 2020?

b) What was the least commonly used OSI (in either direction) in 2020?

 

If possible, could you provide estimates for the number of people using
such OSIs as you did in response to the same question posed for data in
2019.

 

Please note we don’t have data for the whole of 2020. We do not hold
detailed information on out-of-station interchanges (OSIs) beyond the last
8 weeks due to data retention rules. Therefore, we are only able to
provide information on the most and least commonly used OSIs over the
period 18th April - 13th June 2021 as follows:

 

The most commonly used OSI was London Bridge LU; 695,381 journeys involved
using this OSI.

The least commonly used OSI was Sudbury Hill Hrw; 10  journeys involved
using this OSI.

 

Please note the response to the previous request which you referenced
covered only an 8 week period between 8th Nov 2019 to 8th Jan 2020.
Unfortunately this detail was not made clear in the response.

 

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
