London Bus Operations
London Bus Operations
(08 Aug 2021, 7:23 pm)IRHardy Yes there is a cascade of the SPs from the 111 to make VHs and ADHs available for the takeover of the 49 & X140 on 4th September as the electric buses won't be able to run on the routes from day one for various reasons. However with the timeliness of electric buses starting operating on routes when they should do, I can imagine that the LTs will transfer to Abellio for a few months until the electric buses are ready to be actually used?Yes, in the likely event that Abellio are late to be able to introduce their electric buses on route 111 they would borrow the LTs in the interim. TF depot already have LTs for route 267 so are familiar with them.

I'd even go as far as suggesting it being part of a strategy to ensure the next London Mayor ends up being a tory one.

(02 Jun 2022, 10:16 am)Michael Sure I read, because of the bail outs, for Transport for London would have to cut services... sure that was part of the deal?Yeah, apparently the stories are true and in order to get funding, they've got to make cuts.
Unless I'm making that up.

Similar to when Nexus were told to contract the metro ops out. Apparently it was the only way they would be eligible for funding.
