North Greenwich new automated announcements on the 1996 Stock sound files
Request ID: FOI-2819-2324 Date published: 10 November 2023
You asked
Dear Transport for London,
Under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 could you please attach the new sound files for North Greenwich on the Jubilee Line 1996 Stock trains please. You have changed these announcements recently and these new ones are not on the share point. You also changed the Canning Town ones around the same time and these were uploaded to the share point as a zip file inside the 1996 Stock zip file. Similarly you did the same for the Elizabeth Line ones. So i presume you should be able to easily send over these North Greenwich files too. I think there will probably be four sound files in total. It would be much appreciated if you could kindly attach these new North Greenwich files. Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you for your request of 6th November 2023 asking for announcement files.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
As I understand it, you already have access to our repository of announcement files. If this is not the case please let me know and I will arrange for access to be granted.
We intend to update these files on a six monthly basis and so any newer recordings will be uploaded as part of this pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to specific future FOI requests. This is to ensure our resources can be managed effectively. Therefore, if you are aware of newer recordings that have been created that are not yet uploaded, we would appreciate your patience with this as requests for these recordings will be refused under section 22 of the FOI Act on the basis that there is a pre-existing intention to publish these in accordance with our publication schedule. We would therefore encourage you to wait for this upload rather than submit requests for recordings in this way. To confirm, these updates are expected to occur around January and July of each year.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely,
David Wells FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
