There is yet another new TfL budget - this time for 2014/15.
A few bus highlights I've spotted from a quick look at the document.
- TfL expect the 250th NB4L to be in service in August 2014.
- TfL expect 10 routes (in total) to have converted by December 2014. We currently have 5 with the 10 declared for April. This leaves another 4 conversions this year. The present cycle looks like a route every 2 months or so and an average allocation of 25-30 buses per route.
- The total forecast operated kilometrage has gone up by 1 million kms (493 rather than 492) for 2014/15. This is a slight surprise so indicates some enhancements are due.
- A contract will be let in November 2014 for the "ZeBus" Trial of 8 zero emission all electric buses (note this is the 8 buses in total including the 2 BYDs, 4 Metrocities plus the 2 undeclared vehicles).
- Pass Jnys forecast to 2,425M which is 10m higher that the last budget numbers.
- Bus revenue due to be £1,551m which is £4m less than previously budgeted.
- Bus subsidy is budgeted to be £9m higher at £435m.
