TfL Ref: FOI-2793-2425
Thank you for your request which we received on 29 November 2024, asking for information about Rail for London expenditure data.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You specifically asked:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please could you confirm whether the figures reported for July 2023 and March 2024 are accurate and complete.
The offsetting CHAPS clearance has been included in the transparency data including VAT. This is causing the overall amount to look like it is lower because the credit is circa £6m higher than the payment but they offset to zero including the VAT. Please see screenshot below:

Please exclude any of these ‘1st Outgoing CHAPS’ payments in your calculations as they are not payments and should not be included in this data. We will amend the process to exclude these going forward.
Additionally, as I cannot find it on your website, I would also like to request all of Rail for London Limited's spend over £250 for the following month:
1) March 2019
The link to March 2019 data is here - Expenditure - past years - Transport for London (tfl.gov.uk)
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 like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
