You asked
Follow-up to FOI-3248-2223: Hello, I checked the audio's but they are the incorrect ones which are not by Emma Hignett. Is it alright if I have all the pre recorded announcements like "This bus terminates here" but in Emma Hignett's voice? I'd also like all the iBus announcements on the bus route 29 and N29 please. Thank you.

I have liaised with our iBus team who inform me that Emma Hignett does all of our iBus recordings, and so all of the iBus audios that are published on the Sharepoint site are by Emma. It is not clear from your email exactly which announcements you think are missing. However, please find attached the files for the 29 and N29 routes, as well as the driver initiated audios.
