Could someone post a full list of Hail and Ride bus routes please? I'm trying to do something for uni and it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! This Diamond Geezer post has a table of them, and their location in London. It is from 2015, though, so a few new routes may have been added with Hail and Ride sections. One that springs to mind is the 497. The 456 too. I think the 301 has it too

...which I think is EL3, 533, 301, 378, 335, X140, 278, 218, 306, 497, 456
And then check those for Hail & Ride...
...which I think is indeed just 301 and 456.

497 does have a Hail & Ride sections on all of the roads that was previously unserved by buses and the 533 has a Hail & Ride on Lonsdale Road which is most shared by the 419 towards Roehampton.

What are the lengths of Optare MetroCity EV buses?

This is quite out of date though - for example it doesn't show the buses for the PB1. Is there one between the 8.9m and the 10.1m? Has Optare/Switch released a TfL spec bus longer than the 10.8m Metrocity?

I mean the 8.9m buses. For example, what buses could be used on the 322? Are there any currently available electric single door single decks or will the Solaris Urbino have to be adapted for right hand drive?

How do you know that the 322 won't get buses built to the current models available? Some buses can be built to spec that aren't advertised, the R8 solos come to mind.

I don't think the 9.7m length of the E200EV was known about until the 100's order was announced, so could perhaps be something similar with a shorter length?

And there is always the electric Solo from 7.8m to 9.9m The electric Metrocity has a short option around the 8.7m, struggling to find the link but I certainly remember it being announced a couple of months back
