Dear David Wheatley,

TfL Ref: FOI-4221-2324

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15
February 2024 asking for information about 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 that we hold the information you require.

The announcements were part of an exclusive (one-off) voiceover for a
video produced for the London Overground line naming launch.

As the information you requested is available using the video link
referred to in your request, in accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act,
we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information
as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

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
the SharePoint 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.

The audio announcements are copyrighted material and access is provided
for personal use only with permission not granted for any re-production or
re-use. In the event that these files are re-used in any way we are likely
to consider this to constitute a breach of copyright and will consider
appropriate next steps.

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

Yours sincerely,

Mary Abidakun
