Anyone have any details for new vehicles entering service in London, and which services they are to be allocated to, so I can keep an eye whilst I am there on the 28th January.

Also came up with a rough plan for where I am going to go around London.

(Subject to Change)
Kings Cross to Golders Green via Northern Line – Journey Time = 15 Minutes
Golders Green to Oxford Circus via London Sovereign Service 13 – Journey Time = 48 Minutes
Oxford Circus to Piccadilly Circus via Routes 94 & 159 – Journey Time = 10 Minutes
Piccadilly Circus to Trafalgar Square via Routes 6/13/23 & 139 – Journey Time = 12 Minutes
Trafalgar Square/Charing Cross to Waterloo Station via Routes 139/176 – Journey Time = 16 Minutes
Waterloo Station to Lambeth Bridge via Route 507 – Journey Time - = 5 Minutes
Millbank to Victoria Station via Route 507 – Journey Time – 8 Minutes
Victoria Station to Covent Garden via London Underground - Journey Time = 1 Minute Victoria line to Green Park Underground Station then 4 Minutes Piccadilly line to Covent Garden Underground Station
Covent Garden to Kings Cross – via London Underground Piccadilly Line – Journey Time = 5 Minutes

And now established that 13 of the displaced Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 vehicles are staying in the Go-Ahead empire, but bound for the North East.

The entire batch is now at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, undergoing repaint and refurbishment prior to assimilation into Go North East's fleet.

Dozens Of London Bus Routes Could Be Shortened, Or Withdrawn Altogether

A number of London bus routes could be shortened — or withdrawn altogether — if 'modernisation' plans by TfL go ahead.

33 bus routes are included in TfL's major network shake-up proposals, which are now subject to a public consultation. Most of the bus routes potentially affected travel through central London, where, TfL claims, demand for buses has dropped by 12% in the last three years. Some roads in central London, such as Kingsway in Holborn, are now served by more than 100 buses an hour, many of which, claims TfL, are significantly underused.
