Dear Sarah Khan

Our ref: FOI-1193-2425/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12
July 2024 asking for information about Canning Town bus station.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. 

Unfortunately, from the description provided, we are unable to identify
the information you require.

To enable us to assist with your request, please provide a more detailed
description of the information you’re seeking together with any other
details you think might help us locate the information you require.

Please can you clarify your question:

6.  Please provide any relevant  correspondence with TFL in  regards to
repair work / plans to fix the current situation

Are you asking for any internal correspondence within TfL, or can you
advise what you mean by ‘correspondence with TfL’? This clarification will
assist us to answer your question as fully as possible.

The Freedom of Information Act allows you to request recorded information
held by Transport for London. There are limits on the time that we are
required to spend determining whether we hold the information you are
requesting and the time spent locating, retrieving and extracting it.
Therefore you should identify the information that you want as clearly and
concisely as you can, specifying the types of document that you are
looking for. You might also consider limiting your request to a particular
period of time, geographical area or specific departments of the
organisation.

Although your request can take the form of a question, rather than a
request for specific documents, we do not have to answer your question if
it would require the creation of new information or the provision of a
judgement, explanation, advice or opinion that was not already recorded at
the time of your request.

Please note that the 20 working day deadline for responding to your
request will depend on when we receive satisfactory additional
information to help clarify your request.  

If we hear nothing further from you by 23 August 2024 your case will be
closed and any subsequent response will be treated as a new request.

In the meantime, if you have any queries or would like to discuss your
request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sarah Khan

Our ref: FOI-1193-2425/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12
July 2024 asking for information about Canning Town bus station.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that
we do hold some of the information you require.

1.    What are the latest plans in this regard to fix the look of Canning
Town bus station which has been a look of a construction site for nearly 2
years now?

2. Are there repairs planned for Canning Town bus station ceiling post the
July 2021 incident?

Concept Design and Testing have been completed. The next stage is Detailed
Design which we are in the process of instructing. The Detailed Design
stage will involve refining architectural and engineering plans, consider
practical aspects and ensure alignment with safety standards while aiming
to enhance the bus station’s aesthetics and functionality.

The delivery stage of the project is currently not budgeted in this
financial year. In October, we will be seeking additional funding to
progress the delivery and will be able to confirm delivery timescales
following that. While we await the decision to proceed, material
procurement remains pending.

 3.  When  will  station  get  back  to  its  former  clean  look  with 
all  temporary  support fixtures chosen.

Once budgetary approvals are in place, we intend to commence construction
promptly. However, any construction timeline is contingent upon financial
allocations. We are committed to transforming the bus station from its
current appearance into a welcoming and functional space for passengers,
bus drivers and TfL staff.

4. What is estimated cost if these repairs and is Newham or TFL able to
claim these from insurers or the construction firm who built the ceiling?

The current estimate for the repair work, including necessary
contingencies, falls within the range £1.6 million to £2.1 million. These
repair costs are not recoverable due to the age of the building which is
over 20 years old and out of warranty. However, we remain committed to
managing the project efficiently within the estimated budget.

5.  What decisions have been taken post the  feasibility  study  that 
was  due  to  be  completed  by  November 2022 in this regard? If any
further studies or reports have been generated please provide these.

The feasibility study was reviewed by TfL Architects in the Built
Environment Engineering Team, who carried out an independent review,
assessment of the incident and provided a Technical Requirements
Specification for this project. Since then, the Concept Design has been
finalised and Technical Approval Authority has been achieved for the
proposed option. Rigorous off-site testing has validated the feasibility
of our chosen approach. We are now prepared to move forward with the
Detailed Design stage. Material procurement and construction are
contingent upon securing funding. No additional formal reports have been
generated beyond the feasibility study. Should any further studies or
relevant updates arise, we will promptly share them with stakeholders.

6.  Please provide any relevant  correspondence with Newham Council in 
regards to repair work / plans to fix the current situation

We have carried out an emails search for any relevant correspondence, but
our search found no correspondence with LB Newham on this subject. The
project is still in the design stage. We would not expect there to be any
communications with the borough until we move to the build phase of the
project.

7. Please provide any internal plans / timelines for the repair project.

These are the current timelines, with material procurement and build
contingent on funding becoming available.

 1. Detailed Design: September 2024 to January 2025
 2. Material Procurement and Construction: Delivery timelines to be
confirmed once the funding decision is made in October

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.

Yours sincerely
