We answered
TfL Ref: FOI-0368-2324
Thank you for your request of 5th May 2023 asking for Victoria Line announcements.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked for the following, further to your previous case referenced FOI-0244-2324:
“I requested Victoria line announcements and in this folder, it shows Northern, jubilee, and Piccadilly lines. Can I have access to the Victoria line announcements please.
I can confirm that we hold the information you require. However, 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 site to which you were previously granted access. We are unable to provide full access to audio announcements across the entire London Underground network - including the Victoria Line - because of contractual prohibitions on disclosure which means these are exempt from disclosure in accordance with section 43(2) of the FOI Act. We do not consider it in the public interest to breach these contractual obligations for the purposes of disclosure given that there is limited wider public interest in this material to support that. Those London Underground announcements that we are able to provide (for the Northern, Jubilee and Piccadilly lines) can be found at the link previously provided.
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,
David Wells FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
