Dear Transport for London,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request a copy of all the iBus London announcements, including bus routes, destinations, curtailments and bus stops in CD format.
I would also like to request a copy of all London Overground announcements in CD format.
I would also like to request a list of all emergency/ informational and general announcements used at London Underground stations.
I can assure you that the CDs will be for personal use only.
Yours faithfully,
Edward Callow

Dear Mr Callow
TfL Ref: FOI-1094-1415
Thank you for your email received by us on 6 October 2014 asking for
information about audio recordings.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can
confirm we do hold the information you require.
Please see attached the announcements used at London Underground stations,
however please note that sometimes it will be necessary for staff to make
their own announcements which will not be featured in the attached for
various reasons.
A CD of the iBus and London Overground recordings will be sent to you when
you provide a postal address. The iBus announcements are recorded as
fragments. As a result, some announcements would not feature in full as
the full announcement would just be made up of two or more fragments that
have already been recorded. The nature of the way they were originally
recorded for the iBus rollout, was over a period of two years in 20
sessions. Numerous CDs and folders were set up in this process and so
unfortunately they are not all held centrally. Some of the current iBus
recordings may be made up of fragments that are no longer used.

under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, you are not granted any rights
to any of the intellectual property that exists in it or granted any
permission to make secondary uses of it.

copyright) in the material supplied and will defend such rights.

to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
