The 123 will join that list when the North Circular become ULEZ next year. The 123 is not a electric route though. Not now but when the North Circular become ULEZ it probably will be. Unless buses get a leeway or something. Might need to read up on that.

Ermmmm Well based on what you just said every bus route inside the ULEZ zone would need to convert to electric which is wrong. Sorry but yes I do think you need to read up on ULEZ.

The north Circular ULEZ means very little for buses as theoretically from now they must all be Euro 6. The hybrid DD/electric SD is something TFL will only apply to the central zone.

LBR mentions that the 174 is getting a frequency increase to every 7 mins on weekdays (from 8 mins) and to every 12 mins on evenings and Sundays (from every 15 mins) from this weekend, with the PVR going up by 2 buses to 25.
With 47 BYD/E400 EV's on order for the 173/673 & 174, I would assume 29 of them are going to RM for the 174 and the remaining 18 going to BK for the 173/673.

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but where will the 174's current E400s head to when the electrics are introduced to the route? I'd guess that some would head to PD to oust the remaining Scanias. The Scanias will need to go by October 2021 at the latest when the ULEZ expands to the North and South Circular Roads.

No the ones from the 174 are going to complete the 365 and convert the 256 to DD operation.
My guess is the Scanias at PD have hung on till the 472 reduces due to Crossrail.

The ULEZ for buses is London wide when it comes into force - for vehicles like cars, it is the North & South Circular.

I would imagine the 248 batch stick around, while they are older they were refurbished more recently so are in slightly better shape from a passenger perspective.

Does anyone know where the exact location is by the entrance that buses stand as I notice the only suitable looking places are a drop off point and two separate ambulance bays?
