We answered

TfL Ref: 4564-1718

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 17 February 2018 asking for a CD of iBus audio recordings and a copy of the transcript used.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

Please find attached a copy of the requested ibus transcript.

A CD recording for the iBus announcements will be sent to you upon receipt of a postal address.

If you wish to make any secondary use of the material provided, you must first obtain the consent of TfL (which may be withheld) and, if consent is granted, a fee may be charged, in accordance with the terms of the Reuse of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.

The iBus CD includes the announcements that are currently used on the iBus system. We currently do not plan to introduce any additional announcements, over and above those for operational reasons, for example, amend stop names if the road layout changes. Planned announcements would also be made up of these fragmented audio files, where possible. Please be advised that the iBus announcements are recorded as fragments; therefore you will find that the files you requested have been provided in this format.

Please note that while access to London Overground and iBus announcements will be provided to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, you are not granted any rights to any of the intellectual property that exists in it or granted any permission to make secondary uses of it. TfL owns all intellectual property (including, without limitation, copyright) in the material supplied and will defend such rights

If you wish to make any secondary use of the material provided, you must first obtain the consent of TfL (which may be withheld) and, if consent is granted, a fee may be charged, in accordance with the terms of the Reuse of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.

Yours sincerely
