What route or routes do you want to see get electrics in the near future?
I want the 65 to get electric buses because it is a busy trunk route which runs through heavily polluted areas.

The 108 for me, goes though one of the most polluted areas outside zone 1 especially Blackwall Tunnel and being a full sized SD route means more types of electrics to choose from than lets say a route that uses smaller single deckers.

Interesting to hear people's different views on electric buses. I mean performance wise.

If it was at all practical (no chance) I would swap out as many LT's on central London routes to the suburbs and replace them with electrics.

I want to see trolleybuses trialled - single deck, probably articulated, with battery reserve to operate off-wire for reasonable distances. Trolleybuses aren't just the past, they are the present and will be the future in many towns and cities throughout the world. The EL routes would be an ideal place to start the trials.

If it was a central London route. I’d put electrics on the 24 or 205
They’d also be beneficial on routes with a high number of buses corridors examples ( Walworth Road examples id use electrics for would be 35 40 42 and 45 and Brixton Road, 133 ) for south London.

I wish that the 140 had BDEs and the 224 had BEs.
