Bus next stop audio automated announcements.

Alan Watson made this Freedom of Information request to Leicester City Council Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was refused by Leicester City Council.

Dear Leicester City Council,

Under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 i am writing to request information regarding automated announcements used onboard your Green Lines buses. These buses are operated by Centrebus and Roberts Travel however i have been informed that the council has arranged the announcements and these are held by yourself.

I request the following information:

• Could you please attach copy of all of the sound files of the automated announcements used onboard the Yutong E9 and Yutong E10 and Yutong E12 buses. Any format such as .mp3 or .wav is fine.

• Could you please provide the names of the voiceover artists used for the automated announcements. I believe the voice of the "City Centre Hop" / "Hospital Hopper" / "Orbital 40" / "P&R 103" / "P&R 203" / "P&R 303" is Ady Dayman but there appears to be a second male voice used when these Yutong buses are used on the 81 and 83 and 83A routes. So i was wondering the name of the other male voiceover artist too.

• Could you please provide a list of the routes that automated announcements have been recorded for on the Yutong buses. Other than the routes mentioned above i was wondering if any other routes are recorded too for when the Yutong buses get used on them.

Thank you in advance for your help with my questions and i look forward to hearing back from you.

Yours faithfully,

Alan Watson
