Dear FOI,

Thank you for supplying these figures. Could I query the hourly figures in answer b?

This may be a presentation issue due to the quirks of the What Do They Know platform, but it appears that 7 people used the Emirates Air Line between 7am and 8am on Sunday 12 October. However, it doesn't open until 9am on Sundays. Similarly, it's showing zero figures for 7am on Friday 17 October.

Would you be able to clarify the true picture? Please feel free to send the figures as a PDF attachment.

Yours sincerely,

Darryl Chamberlain

Dear Mr Chamberlain,

 

Please accept my apologies, it appears there was an error on our part in
the collation of this data.

 

I’ve corrected the figures and attached them in an excel file to make them
easier to read.

 

Kind regards

Lee Hill
