Dear Mr Forster

TfL Ref: 1008-1314

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 5

September 2013 asking for a DVA transcript of announcements made on the

London Underground network, including emergency announcements played and a

CD of iBus and London Overground audio recordings. I apologise for the

delay in our response.

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 see below for transcripts of emergency announcements used in London

Underground stations:

Evacuate:

“Ladies & Gentlemen, your attention please, due to a reported emergency

would all passengers leave the station immediately.”

Inspector Sands:

“Would Inspector Sands please go to the operations room immediately.”

Please follow instructions from members of Underground staff or the

emergency services to leave this train. If you require assistance please

make yourself known to a member of staff or use a passenger emergency

alarm to alert the Train Operator.

Would any trained medical person please make themselves known to the Train

Operator by the using a passenger emergency alarm.

A Passenger Emergency Alarm has been operated on this train. There will be

a short delay while this is investigated.

If there is a member of Underground staff on this train, please make

yourself known to the Train Operator.

The Inspector Sands message enables staff to be prepared to carry out

certain safety related activities but without causing unnecessary alarm

for customers and is an automated message which is activated when the

station fire alarm sounds. It is an established safety mechanism that has

been agreed with the London Fire Brigade and is also used in major

National Rail stations and airports in the UK.

Attached are copies of the DVA transcript for each London Underground

line.

CD recordings for the London Overground and iBus announcements will be

sent to you upon receipt of an 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

has been 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.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable

to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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
