If the weight restrictions will have to be kept how will buses on the bridge ever get electrics, let a lone any knew buses as even the MMC's are too heavy? Will they always keep their current buses.

When will route 9 be up for re-tender? For reasons I cannot remember, I think it was given another extension from early 2022

The weight restriction will be dropped enough to allow electric single deckers to cross. Isn't the weight restriction the border to ensure the bridge is safe and it will not collapse. I know that monitoring the amount of buse sand people on the bridge didn't work well in history.

Whenever the bridge strengthening works finished, the new repairs would in theory be strong enough to carry the weight of single decker electric buses which has been mentioned in various TfL reports.

Making it eligible for a 2 year extension. It was. The 9 on paper was withdrawn in 2018 when it's already extended contract came to an end.

For reasons I cannot remember, I think it was given another extension from early 2022 I believe this was just the standard QSI extension, as the 9 was by this point operating on the 10s contract, performance during the 10s contract duration seems to have been adequate to offer it an extension. This makes it unique in that it will run a 13 year contract in one sitting.

Whenever the bridge strengthening works finished, the new repairs would in theory be strong enough to carry the weight of single decker electric buses which has been mentioned in various TfL reports. a) If they are going to strengthn the bridge why not just strengthen it enough for DD's?
b) If the answer to a is no for whatever reason can busy routes 33 and 72 get long single decks with strengthning (11.5-12m)?

What route will the Hammersmith Bridge ferry take? The ferry is for pedestrians only, not for any bus routes. Those who need to cross from buses from either end, passengers need to use the ferry or walk around Putney or Chiswick.

The ways things are going, budget, and what is achievable within that budget will be the defining factors.
