#Transport for #London has awarded #Haringey, #Lewisham and #Southwark up to £10m each over four years to deliver borough-led schemes under the Better Bus Partnerships programme. The funding will support measures to cut journey times by up to 30 per cent, improve reliability and make buses a more attractive alternative to private cars. Planned work includes new bus priority lanes, better management of roadworks, upgraded stops and safer walking links to stations. The three boroughs were selected through a competitive process and will now work with #TfL on detailed #planning through 2026, with delivery expected from 2027. TfL says the programme will boost customer experience and support wider goals for cleaner, greener travel. Borough leaders welcomed the investment, highlighting the importance of reliable #buses for residents who do not own cars and the role of improved services in supporting #regeneration, better connections and safer, more accessible streets.

New data from #Transport for #London shows that the Mayor’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS) for HGVs has halved deaths and serious injuries among pedestrians, #cyclists, and motorcyclists. Since its introduction in 2019, the average number of people killed in collisions with HGVs has fallen from 17 per year (2017–2019) to 11, while those seriously injured dropped from 54 to 24 in 2024. The scheme, part of London’s Vision Zero plan, improves driver visibility and is backed by enforcement and safety upgrades. #TfL says the DVS is saving lives, with wider #EU adoption expected to prevent thousands of fatalities by 2038.

#Transport for #London Have Your Say:
#TfL outlines plans to reorganise bus route 424 in Putney and Fulham. The route would be shortened to run only between Putney Heath and Upper Richmond Road, operating every 45 minutes and using an anti-clockwise loop at its northern end. A new route, the 454, would take over the Fulham section, running between Putney Bridge Station and Fulham’s Stevenage Road near Cannons Leisure Centre. Two frequencies are being considered: every 30 or 45 minutes. The 454 would follow a revised loop in Fulham and adopt a simplified alignment in Sands End via New King’s Road, Bagley’s Lane and Townmead Road, though required highway changes are not yet approved. TfL says the changes aim to improve reliability by removing services from congested Putney High Street and enabling larger single deck buses on the 454. Discussions with Wandsworth and Hammersmith & Fulham councils are ongoing. Consultation closes on 11 January 2026.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL released limited documents from Tender PRO1632, a 2009 procurement for the New Bus for London (New Routemaster), following an FOI request for tender materials. The papers include invitations to negotiate and to submit a best and final offer, along with technical specifications. They outline aims for an iconic, fuel-efficient hybrid bus with an open platform, low-floor layout, LED lighting, three-door configuration and a potential stowable rear platform. Requirements also cover styling, safety features, staircase options and a 14-year operational life. TfL’s 2009 letter to Wrightbus confirms the company as preferred bidder, subject to the standstill period, and provides evaluation scores against two rival bids. TfL notes that no contractual commitment existed until final documents were executed.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has released information concerning planning work for several Superloop routes. The requester sought documents outlining options and assessments for SL2, SL3, SL5 and SL12, and, where relevant, SL13, SL14 and SL15. They asked for material covering possible frequency changes, route extensions or the creation of new services, ideally in a format similar to a network development paper.
TfL confirmed it holds relevant material and explained that, although there is no formal “pre-planning” stage, the available planning insights are captured within Bus Services Meeting papers. These papers contain the internal analysis used when considering future Superloop service options and have been supplied in response to the request.
