Dear Mr Smith,

 

TfL Ref: EIR-0086-2223

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 13^th
April 2022 asking for information about 1992 rolling stock on the Central
line.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access
policy. 

 

Specifically you asked:

 

“Please would it be possible to know if the 1992 stock contains any
asbestos material?”

 

The Central line 1992 rolling stock was constructed in the early 1990’s
and first entered service in 1993. Although the original stock was
manufactured before the ban on the use of asbestos in 1999, the materials
used in this rolling stock did not include asbestos.

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
