Dear Mr Grafham

Our Ref:         FOI-1555-1314

Thank you for your e-mail received on 22 November 2013 asking for a copy
of the iBus announcements.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and TfL’s information access policy. I can
confirm TfL does hold the information you require.

A CD containing the iBus announcements has been sent to you in the post.

Please find attached a list of the announcements. It should be noted that
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.

Please also note that while access to this material will be provided to
you 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.

TfL owns all intellectual property (including, without limitation,
copyright) in the material supplied and will defend such rights.

If you wish to make any secondary use of the material provided, you must
first obtain the consent of TfL (which may be withheld) and, if consent is
granted, a fee may be charged, in accordance with the terms of the Reuse
of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Thank you for your e-mail. I do not know how long it will take the disc to
reach your home. I expect it may take a couple of days, however due to the
volume of mail the Post Office have to process during the Christmas period
it may take longer. If you have not received it by the end of next week
please let me know and I will arrange for another one to be sent out.

Yours sincerely

As advised in my original response, 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. All parts of the “ University Hospital"
and "Dingwall Road/East Station” are used in other announcements,
and so the announcement for these stops can be made up from these.

There are four audio announcements with the words ‘Thornton Heath Pond’
included in them. I have listened to the announcements and there are two
different ways in which this announcement is said.

Please note that you have received the most current version of the
recordings that we hold.
