This is a new one on me, the DLR replacement bus service for first day of Bank branch closeure has following statement " a percentage of replacement buses will have low floor access...."

I thought the dlr was fully accessable, so why hire non-accessable buses ? (and from whom?)

Ensignbus i believe currently hold the contract to supply DLR replacement buses since the collapse of fraser eagle. The have a number of olympians that they use on this work hence the reason for the mention that not all vehicles are accessible.

Ensign also sub-contract out to other Essex independants like TWH, who also run step entrance vehicles. Noticed that one the last major closure around Canning Town back in June.
