We answered

TfL Ref 0036-2122 Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 5 April 2021 asking for information about our Piccadilly Line 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 do hold the information you require. However our Piccadilly line announcements are only supplied as .pcc files which may need specialist software to play them. This format is the only version we currently have available. They can be accessed via a previous FOI response that is published on the www.whatdotheyknow.com website: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tube_lines_and_dlr_announcement I have also attached the files we hold to this email for ease. If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation. 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 Sara Thomas FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
