6. I was convinced Cannon Street had only one Underground lift as only one platform is step-free accessible. I am assuming lifts linking it to the station above are owned by Network Rail.
However, it may be that two lifts are needed to reach the step-free accessible westbound platform.

6. Oops. I should have checked the attached PDF. They have included the lift to the National Rail station above which suggests it is an LU asset.

2) How many lifts does one get for £18.8m? Infrastructure, even small stuff like lifts, is expensive.

(you can use FoI 6 to answer your question about FoI 2)

10. Is that for the Lizzy line or DLR as the down escalator has been out for about 3 months now

3 - can drivers on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly still open the doors just before the train stops - I assume on all modern trains its all interlocked now.
12 - linking back to yesterday (Item 6), would the original DLR platforms have been shorter?
14 - they aren't asking for themselves, its for all the others that lost a Birkin bag.
4 and 15 - a Bow centric pattern is starting to emerge in the FOI requests.
20 - you should have ben there in the 1980s.

1-20: I have enormous sympathy for those folk whose daily work is to address these FoI requests.
Still Anon - a perusal of the inelegant questions 4 and 15 would confirm that our leader was most likely not responsible.

15 covers the entire LU network, not just Bow Road. Presumably dg found his local station of interest and so extracted that data for the blog.

18 I wonder if it would be cost effective for TfL to set up a comprehensive documents archive online to cover such requests in more self service way. With the documents licensed as "personal use only".
I would hope that TfL already has an document management system to cover public facing documents (at least the last couple of decades when such software became commonly available off the shelf and affordable). Not too hard to automatically publish eligible documents from such a system to the internet.

2. Sadly, that price didn't include a roof so the long walkway is unpleasant to use in bad weather and has an ongoing cost for staff sprinkling rocksalt in cold weather. I suppose roofing it would have pushed that cost up to an uneconomic £19m.
15. I'm a bit surprised that this request wasn't rejected. The information could be said already to be publicly available (albeit slightly inconveniently) and so out of scope, simply by visiting each station and pressing the buttons.

14) So Birkin bag owners are the least absent minded people in society or people who spend £10k on a bag don't travel by tube

11 - I assume this has had an impact on the plethora (much reduced recently, I think) of bus operators / routes bringing the citizens of Harlow over to Epping to take advantage of the lower fares compared to National Rail

18 - Thankfully such response-induced sighs from DG are likely rare, as TfL appear to be remarkably good at providing (I assume accurate) answers to these (perhaps greater sigh-inducing) questions. And i suspect the correct items will be provided once the error becomes apparent.

15 - It's weird the list of stations isn't more standardized.
You can buy a ticket to Peterborough from every station apart from Liverpool Street.
Similarly you can buy a ticket to Guildford everywhere except Battersea Power Station.
On the contrary, if you want to go to Newmarket you are out of luck unless you are starting from Seven Sisters.

2. An obscene amount of money to have been spent. I assumed important things like hospital wings cost that kind of money? Outrageous!

You assumed incorrectly.

4. 17. I wonder if the same person sent in these two requests?

4. 17. You can stop wondering if you click through and read the two requests (or indeed read the comments above).

19. 500 revenue inspectors, with just 36 penalty notices issued on the underground each day? That seems very low, even if you assume most inspectors are on the Overground / DLR / buses.
There's some tube stations with more than 36 people pushing through the wide barrier in an hour!
