London Bus Tender Awards: RATP Dev Retains Route 411 And Abellio London Wins Route 465 With Existing Single-Deck Buses

Extract from TfL's bus graphic standard.

I assume this is the last tender award of the year (2023), as we see two London bus route contracts awarded with diesel single-deck buses.

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

Route 411
Retained by RATP Dev London United
Peak Vehicle Requirement (PVR): 5
Vehicles: Existing single deck
Contract Start Date: 28th September 2024
Contract End Date: 27th September 2030

Route 465
Current Operator: RATP Dev London United
New Operator: Abellio London
PVR: 7
Vehicles: Existing single deck
Contract Start Date: 29th June 2024
Contract End Date: 28th June 2030

The diesel vehicles detailed above will meet Euro VI emissions standards.

My suggestion on how to improve public #transport in #London and elsewhere

• More bus lanes, priority schemes,
• Transit schemes from the 2000s,
• Speedbus proposal from the 1970s,
• revert to the pre-1970 area…#TfL #Buses #Underground #Trains #Trams #LightRail #Metro pic.twitter.com/3jcDum4Fch
