The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

I understand that Emma Hignett(Voice of London Buses) undertook an Ibus recording session on the 31st January 2012. Please provide an audio CD which is correct to 01st Feb 12.This should include all iBus cliops recorded from project start up to 31st January. It should also include all future announcments which are going to be used. For example, She did an announcment for the 2012 games saying "Alight here for ther beach volley ball events".

Can the Cd have folders which are named-

- DESTINATIONS
- BUS STOPS
- ROUTE NUMBERS
- FUTURE ANNOUNCMENTS
- ALIGHT HERE FOR...
- OTHER

This should be dealt with under the FOI request and there is no reason why this should be refused as i've nto ahd this specific infomation before. Please provide via post on CD.

Yours faithfully,

Thank you for your e-mail received by Transport for London (TfL) on 7
February 2012 asking for an updated CD of all iBus announcements made
since the system’s introduction to 1 February 2012.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and TfL’s information access policy.
I can confirm that TfL holds the information you require. You asked:

recording session on the 31st January 2012. Please provide an audio CD
which is correct to 01st Feb 12.This should include all iBus clips

future announcements which are going to be used. For example, She did an

In accordance with the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply any of the
information you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption
to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act.

 

In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information you
have requested is intended for future publication. The recordings are
currently undergoing quality checks. They are expected to be ready for
release by the end of this month (March 2012), after which it will be
possible to supply you with a copy.

 

The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public
interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned.
Whilst TfL recognises the need for openness and transparency by public
authorities and the particular public interest in disclosure of this
information, in this instance as the information is being checked for
quality it is considered that the public interest favours making this
information available, according to the pre-determined schedule, rather
than in response to your request, to ensure that the information provided
is accurate and accessible

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.

 

Yours sincerely

This is really weird as it seems like the request of audio files gets denied and approved depending on who is the case officer of the request as seen here . Perhaps you should quote relevant requests such as http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ib... in any future Reply or Review Request

Dear FOI,

I have not been informed of when I will get this CD? Are you ready to sen it yet? The end o March is fastly aproaching.

Yours sincerely,
