You asked

Good morning TFL, May I (for personal use only) please obtain a copy of the 1972, 1973, 1995, 1996, 2009, DLR and Elizabeth line announcements (or at least the ones out of those group that you are able to disclose).

We answered

Our ref: FOI-1626-2324/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15 August 2023 asking for DLR and Elizabeth line announcements.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy, however we do not hold the information you require.

The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) opened in 1987. The DLR audio announcement files are not held by TfL. These are done digitally as needed by typing them into a system, combining previously typed announcements where necessary.

The Elizabeth line opened in 2022, and therefore we do not hold announcements for the years 1972, 1973, 1995, 1996, 2009.

If you would like access to the announcements which are available (and include the current Elizabeth line), please let us know.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
FOI Case Officer

General Counsel
Transport for London
