TUPE rules state the staff would have to transfer with the route on their current contractual T's & C's or given the option of transferring to another of the the incumbent operators locations but only they sign over to one of the incumbent operators employment contracts (which might not be as good as their current one).

Wasn't there a plan to extend the route to Dagenham a while back? Yes and I FOI'd Barking and Dagenham Council for copies of the report that officers were actioned to produce on it. Council minutes clearly record the action. They did a report for the 499's planned extension to bits of Chadwell Heath and that can be found via Google. B&D came back and said the report was never produced and that any further queries should be directed at TfL. Given B&D insisted that TfL paid to resurface all the roads and for any highway mods associated with the 499's proposed extension you hardly need to be a genius to work out what might have killed off the 498 proposal. It also seems that the residents on the 499's extension were less than keen to have buses down their roads and the same might also be true of the 498 as it was going to go through residential roads to reach the Goresbrook Leisure Centre. EDIT - I subsequently found another report which said the Council objected to the proposal to route 498 buses down Dagenham Avenue. I appreciate the Council have a role to represent their area but so many councils seem to view bus improvements or extensions as an open cheque book for highway improvements it's no wonder very little happens.

No announcement made yet so it is nothing but unfounded rumours.
