Dear Henry

TfL Ref: FOI-0380-2324

Thank you for your request which we received on 8 May 2023.

In order to grant you access to the London Overground station announcement
files, we will need your personal email address. We are not able to add
“What Do They Know” email account to access these recordings. You may wish
to email it to me directly, as opposed to on this public site, at FOI ‘at’
tfl.gov.uk.

Furthermore, Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) sets
out the requirements of a valid request for information and states that a
request must, amongst other things, “state the name of the applicant.” As
a full name has not been provided we are unable to treat this as a valid
request. If you could please provide your full name and then we will
process your request.

I will look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Eva Hextall

Dear Henry Walker

TfL Ref: FOI-0380-2324

Thank you for your request which we received on 22 May 2023, asking for
London Overground audio station announcements.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.  I
can confirm we hold some of the information you require.

You should have received an email separately that provides a link to the
requested audio announcements. Please note that all of the audio
announcements across the full TfL network that we are currently able to
provide access to are accessible via this site. However, please be aware
that many of the audio announcements that can be heard across the network
are actually made up of smaller, fragmented recordings which are then
combined for the purposes of public announcements so there will be some
instances where full recordings of specific stop/station names, numbers or
locations are not held.

We intend to update these files on a six monthly basis and so any newer
recordings will be uploaded as part of this pre-determined schedule,
rather than in response to specific future FOI requests. This is to ensure
our resources can be managed effectively. Therefore, if you are aware of
newer recordings that have been created that are not yet uploaded, we
would appreciate your patience with this as requests for these recordings
will be refused under section 22 of the FOI Act on the basis that there is
a pre-existing intention to publish these in accordance with our
publication schedule. We would therefore encourage you to wait for this
upload rather than submit requests for recordings in this way. To confirm,
these updates are expected to occur around January and July of each year.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate 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.

Yours sincerely

Eva Hextall
