This is a short
news update about London Bus services. TfL have awarded the 266 contract to
Metroline using 2007 Euro IV double deck buses.
From LOTS
news:
The
Following TfL contract has been announced:
266
(24 hour) awarded to Metroline
West (currently Tower Transit) with 2007
Euro IV double decks, PVR 27. Start
date 29 July.
Note this is a short-term contract terminating no later than
December 2019 to allow for the restructuring
of the route in connection with the opening of the Elizabeth line.
Route 266
serves Brent Cross, Cricklewood, Willesden, Harlesden, North Acton, Acton,
Askew Road and Hammersmith.
In my
opinion, Metroline should be using Euro
V hybrid buses because of diesel emissions which cause pollution,
contribute towards global warming and cause health issues.
