If other local authorities wish their residents get the same privileges they could pay for it, but as you say, it is very expensive. There are lots on here that seem to advocate scrapping it! Indeed. Reason I asked is because my relative would like to move to Surrey but we found out that she won't get a freedom pass and it's £14 single journey ticket to Waterloo. RIP OFF You cant use the Freedom pass for trains out of London anyhow .... why is it a rip off?

Does the N91 have any restrictions to prevent it from being operated with LTs?

Does the N91 have any restrictions to prevent it from being operated with LTs? Southgate Bus Station can be tight, but I imagine wouldn't be an issue at night. Ditto Cockfosters. This mini roundabout on Wilmer Way looks like it might be a candidate, but otherwise I can't think of anything.

Is there a Electric Wright SRM in the market or a electric Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 or a Electric Wright StreetDeck? Or a Wright StreetLite? Basically does Wrightbus have electric vehicles?

I believe they were initially focussed on Hydrogen vehicles, although are now said to be developing an electric bus as the "market demands one". It's good to see they are listening to what customers want rather than trying to force their own product through. Although I think it might end up coming a little too late as operators at this rate might soon have vast amounts of BYD buses within their fleet and might just try to standardise on one type.

I'm surprised that they don't already have a electric double decker already in the market.

I'm surprised that they don't already have a electric double decker already in the market. I imagine that would be because Volvo were said to be developing one themselves, so effectively a similar relationship to BYD and ADL where BYD does the chassis and electrical components while ADL deal with the body and cosmetics. However Volvo later said that they would exclusively only partner with MCV, in turn leaving Wright with no partner.

Lothian have some single decker Gemini 3's which IIRC are electric Those Lothian buses - assuming you mean these ones - are Streetairs. It seems they're the only production Streetairs anywhere, excluding prototypes and demonstrators. There was supposed to be a double-deck version in development but it never saw the light of day.

What happened to the one at London Central?

Where the original AEC Routemasters and Leyland Titans built in Park Royal?
