Just Published, and now only annually (used to be Quarterly) Details of the fleet at end of March About 250 buses less than previous year Mass cull of pre 2008 buses compared to 2018 tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/bus-fleet-data-and-auditsLots of detail for discussion Eg Metroline now has joint oldest fleet (with Sulivans) and Arriva averaging just 0.02 years (a week) younger |

I notice that the Smart Hybrids in the document are referred to as E40H 48v buses as opposed to Smart Hybrids or E40Ds.

Obviously the data is 4 months out of date, and some things have changed, eg RATP have now withdrawn their trio of DPS Darts
At 31/3/19 was down to just 150 buses pre 2007 (excluding heritage RMs)
Looks like the number of diesel double decks will soon be exceeded by hybrids, now 2669 hybrids and 2863 diesel
Meanwhile for first time for 12 years there are no hybrid single decks
Looking at table 2 shows how number of new buses has fallen in 2018 (737 buses), 2017 was 1031, 216 was 1083 new buses
