London Bus tender awards for Mid April 2018

TfL have announced tender awards for four London bus routes.

From LOTS News:

LBSL intends to enter into new contracts for the following routes with the operators listed below:


Route Current Operator New Operator PVR Vehicles
292 London Sovereign Metroline TBC 2011 Euro V diesel double deck
317 Arriva London Metroline 6 New Euro VI hybrid double deck
393 Arriva London Metroline 14 New Euro VI diesel single deck
603 Metroline Sullivan Buses 2 2009 Euro V diesel double deck

All Euro V vehicles will be upgraded to Euro VI emissions standards.

The above contracts will commence on the following dates:

8th December 2018: Route 292.
12th January 2019: Route 603.
23rd March 2019: Route 393.
30th March 2019: Route 317.

Metroline gained three routes and lost one school route to Sullivan Buses. It will be a long wait for the new route contracts to start. Only routes 317 and 393 will be getting new buses.
