New Routemasters

[Supplementary question]

Question number	0985/2008
Meeting date	18/06/2008

Question by Valerie Shawcross

OK. Does that mean therefore that you will be putting additional double decker services on those routes in order to make up the capacity that will be lost by the removal of the bendy buses?

Answer by Boris Johnson (1st Term)

I understand the direction of your question. I do not want to get into the details of exactly how we are going to be supplying the capacity because that is currently the subject of discussion. What we are determined to do is to begin the process of phasing out the bendy buses whilst making sure that people are not left behind at bus stops.
