Dear Ms West,
Thank you for your reply to my FOI. Unfortunately, it does not include information that I requested.
The Earthwork Inspection 5 Chain Record you have supplied is only a summary of detailed reports that were made as a result of inspections on 14/02/2019 and 26/03/2019.
These would have included SCHI Soil Cutting and SCHI Soil Cutting Movement Indicator reports, and the accompanying photographs.
I would be grateful if all the reports generated by these inspections are supplied, as per my request.
I thank you for drawing my attention to the reports covering boundary inspections that took place in December 2018.
Following your suggestion I will be raising a separate request for these.
Yours sincerely,
Stewart Baker
Dear Mr Baker
Thank you for your email letting us know about the additional information.
As our response letter says we always try to look at dealing with your follow up questions informally before we look at it as an Interval review.
Therefore, I will make an enquiry today, directly to our supplier who manage the Earthworks Database to see if the are able to extract further information and the photographs mentioned for the two dates.
I will update you with the result of my enquiries as soon as possible.
In the meantime if you have any further questions I can be contacted in the number below.
Kind regards

Dear Mr Barker
Following up on my email below, I wanted to let you know that I have been in contact with the department that manage the Database and have been provided with a more substantial report, rather than the summary report provided to you in my original response.
Please find attached the full report which I hope covers all of your queries. If you believe there is any further information we have missed I would be grateful if you could let me know.
As with my original response I am withholding the names and phone numbers of the employees of Network Rail under regulation 13(1) of the EIR (personal information) from the report.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused and if I can be of any further assistance please get in touch.
Kind regards
