Route 23 is the one affected Computer generated image of New Routemaster, copyright belongs to TFL. I recently found a Freedom of Information request referring to the London Bus routes which the New Routemaster failed their route test on. Eddie Cole submitted a request via the 'What Do They Know' website where you can see users submitting information requests to government bodies for information. The 'What Do They Know' website user sent a Freedom of Information request to Transport for London on 11 th September 2014. Dear Transport for London, I understand that you have recently released, via an FOI request, a list of routes that were tested for operation by the New Routemaster but which were considered unsuitable without varying degrees of infrastructure work. I understand these routes to be 7, 14, 19, 22, 23, 74, 94, 139,168, 414 and C2. Firstly, can you please confirm that this list is correct. Secondly, please would you set out details of: i) what the required inf...

LOTS (London Omnibus Traction Society) have reported that route 453 has missed two target dates, so the route conversion to New Routemasters will now commence on the 18 th  of October 2014. This is not the first time the route has experienced delays converting to a specific bus type.  The first delay occurred on the 15th of February back in 2003 when the route first started with conventional deckers, then a month later on the 15th of March the route finally got their Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530G Artics. It seems that history is repeating itself for route 453, in terms of route conversion delays.  What TFL should've done is to do a phase conversion so there would be minimal disruption to the route if the New Routemasters stop working due to teething problems. Routes that got phased conversion to ...

The New Routemaster buses are due to have 3 doors and 2 staircases. The route runs from Deptford bridge DLR station in South London to Marylebone station via Westminster Bridge and Oxford Circus. Brief History of the route Creative Commons Image  by Badudoy The route was first formed on the 15 th of February 2003 by using double deck vehicles because the Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530G Artics were not available until the 15 th March 2003.
