A Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Transport for London (TfL) has revealed that two three-door, two-staircase hybrid New Routemasters (NRMs), designed by Heatherwick Studio and manufactured by Wrightbus, have been missing from the bus fleet.

The person submitting the FOI request referred to a previous FOI response which included the following text:

"Of the total fleet, TfL own the 998 New Routemasters and 20 Hydrogen vehicles."

Let’s take a look at the questions and answers from TfL.
