V/Line Platform Announcements (Southern Cross)
Dear Public Transport Victoria,
I would like to request a copy of all platform announcement files used at Southern Cross for V/Line services
I’d like to confirm that I will use these files for personal use only, and will remain in my sole possession.
Per the advice given on the Victorian Government’s Freedom of Information Request page, I wish to determine whether these files can be obtained: without a formal request or is publicly available, before making a formal request through the Victorian Freedom of Information Act.
It is also to my understanding that these files would not be exempt from the FOI Act.
Yours faithfully,
Rohan McMaster
Dear Rohan,
Thanks for your message.
When you refer to "platform announcements at Southern Cross Station for
V/Line services", are you referring to the automated voice messages that
are announced on the public address system; for example:
“Attention V/Line customers! The xx:xx Geelong service is now boarding at
Platform xx. This service will be stopping at: <station name>, <station
name>, <station name>, <station name>, <station name>, <station name>. The
xx:xx Geelong is now boarding at Platform xx. Thank you.”
Regards,
Gavin

Dear Rohan,
I have conferred with my counterpart at V/Line Corporation in relation to
your query.
It is more appropriate for [1]V/Line’s FOI Team to deal with your query,
and have I have copied them into this message.
V/Line will be able to advise whether you need to lodge a formal FOI
request for the audio files you seek, or whether other forms of access may
be appropriate.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Gavin
