Issue
I usually get KeyACCIDENT data from Transport for London (TfL) in the v6 3-file format. It is no longer available.
Solution
TfL has upgraded CollStats to the STATS19 2024 format. The v6 3-file format is now obsolete and TfL has removed this format from their system.
Instead, CollStats now provides data in the more modern, flexible CRASH XML format.
What does this mean for you?
- The obsolete v6 3-file KeyACCIDENT format is no longer available from TfL's CollStats
- You will need to upgrade to KeyACCIDENT 2025 - no extra cost from us
- Your next data extractions will need to be in the CRASH XML format - a single file and only compatible with KeyACCIDENT 2025 onwards
- You will not be able to add new data without upgrading to KeyACCIDENT 2025
Still need to upgrade?
If you still need to upgrade, there is comprehensive information for you and your IT support at KeyACCIDENT General: Resources for KeyACCIDENT 2025
Please see especially the IT guidance and User guidance at item 4.
