Latest London Bus Contract Awards

The latest awards have recently been announced by Transport for London as follows:

143    (Archway Station & Brent Cross Shopping Centre) Re-awarded to Metroline Travel using existing fleet Euro-V diesel engined single-decks (new contract starting date 24th June 2017).

195    (Charville Lane Estate & Brentford County Court) Awarded to Abellio with new Euro-VI diesel single-decks. Currently operated by Metroline West with DE-Class ADL E200 single-decks from Greenford (G) Garage (15th April 2017).

260    (White City Bus Station & Golders Green Station) Re-awarded to Metroline Travel with new Euro-VI hybrid double-decks (24th June 2017).

302    (Mill Hill Broadway Station & Kensal Rise Station) Re-awarded to Metroline Travel with new Euro-VI hybrid double-decks (24th June 2017).

350(U5)  (Uxbridge Station & Hayes & Harlington Station) Awarded to Abellio as revised route 350 with new Euro-VI diesel engined single-decks. Currently operated by Metroline Travel with DE-class ADL E20D single-decks from Hayes (HZ) Garage (29th April 2017).

350 (currently Abellio) and U5 (currently Metroline West) To clarify, these two routes are restructured with their present routeings swapped between Hayes and Stockley Park.  The current contract on the U5 ceases from 29th April 2017 but the current 350 contract is not yet due.  The way it will work is that a new contract (as 350) is awarded to Abellio West London (pvr 5) between Hayes Station and Terminal Five with new Euro VI diesel single-decks.  The existing contract on the present 350 with Abellio West London is ’varied’ to run instead as U5 from Hayes to Uxbridge using the existing double-decks.
