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.

Dozens Of London Bus Routes Could Be Shortened, Or Withdrawn Altogether
A number of London bus routes could be shortened — or withdrawn altogether — if 'modernisation' plans by TfL go ahead.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.

Some interesting proposals, don't really know London routes, as I've never been on them.
