Transport for London occasionally write up a formal report of an

I followed up with a request for copies of all the reports. *(Why
aren't they published as a matter of routine, like RAIB reports?)

Because they're internal reports? Remember that RAIB covers LU as
well. I dare say Network Rail and indeed the TOCs might have something
similar, but said entities are outside the purview of the FOIA because
they're totally independent commercial entities which have at most a
tangential relationship to government and are in no way public bodies,
or something like that.


I have now got a response which does contain several reports:

Happy reading!

Two points:

* Does anyone know what the blacked-out section of the signalling
* diagram on p17 of the Earls Court report might be ?

* Tfl are being hopelessly slow about replying to my FOI requests.
* I have complained to the ICO.
