Contractual commitments prevent Transport for London (TfL) from publishing income received from each client. TfL also recognises the need to protect the commercial information provided by partners and clients. On long-term projects the substantive income is often not received until project completion. TfL publishes annual income from consulting services: £0.2m of income was received in 2018-19, £0.5m of income was received in 2019-20, and the income for 2020-21 will be shared once the trading accounts are completed.

Since 2018, TfL’s international trading arm has provided consultancy services and licensed intellectual property to the World Bank, Keolis, Ramboll, National Transport Authority (Ireland), Jacobs, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, Rebel Group, Sporveien (Oslo), Hong Kong Transport Department and East-West Rail. Negotiations are ongoing with a number of other organisations for additional long-term projects to deliver a sustainable, profitable income stream to TfL and wider value to London
