So when did the Uxbridge Road and Chiswick to Kensington green bus zone start? Don’t remember which month but both started in 2019

What's the longest serving temporary bus stop? The one at Redbridge Library was there for almost a year I believe, if not more than a year.

Was wondering if there has been one there for years as one I could think of was the temporary stop on station road 378 and 485 route which has been there since the 209 got rerouted to Putney Bridge in May 2019.

I don't know if the temporary stop heading southbound on Waterloo Bridge is still in use but that one must have been there for quite a while, I'd guess at least a year.

I'll ask again what’s the rule regarding PVR and spares? How spares is required for a pvr between 1 to 11, 12 to 20, 21 to 30 and 31 and beyond?

There is no rule, it is upto Operator Generally 1-5 has no specific spare bought for route, but will use a general spare 6-11 has a spare then another spare for every 8-9 buses Will be additional spares if unique size and cannot share spares with other routes at a garage, similarly if unusual type eg LT, or different fuel eg electric

I believe it's 1.1x the PVR, so if a route had a: PVR of 1-5: then a spare might not be purchased, unless it is the only route with that type of bus at the garage. PVR of 6-13: 1 spare PVR of 14-24: 2 spares PVR of 25+: 3 spares PVR of 40+: 4 spares PVR of 50+: 5 spares And so on...

Will existing Hybrids and diesel allowed to run on TfL services beyond 2030 aka the 0 emissions ban or will they have to be withdrawn before then? Do the current garages have enough room for hydrogen and electric charging stations?

Do the current garages have enough room for hydrogen and electric charging stations? They will have to be removed before then. It's up to TfL and operators to work a solution to this.

So the new diesels and hybrids that have entered service will have 9 left instead of the usual 14.

Maybe 10 years, probably going to be end 2030 rather than January 2030 Not quite as short as when buses entering service in 1998, had to leave by April 2006 if they weren’t low floor (and before anyone mentions it, a few school route contracts continued without low floor to July)

The deadline for the entire network to be wheelchair-accessible was brought forward to end December 2005 (may have originally been April 2006, not sure why it had to be brought forward). A few contracts had to be retendered early as a result (e.g. 159, 649, 650, 651). Also the artic conversion of route 29 was brought forward to January 2006 (at the start of the new school term) to allow low-floor DDs to be cascaded to Arriva school routes. Metroline had to hire wheelchair-accessible buses for routes 4 and 214, as the new buses on order had not been delivered in time to meet the deadline.

A lot can happen in 10 years policy and technology wise. I doubt very much there is anywhere near the capacity on London's Electricity Network to support the volume of charging facilities needed and as I mentioned earlier the suppliers aren't know for their expediency in forward thinking. By 2025 we should have an idea of what the future looks like, even if TFL are still around.
