Since we know from Mayor's Question Time Question No. 2016/0627 that London Bus Services Limited (LBSL) "does not operate vehicles or services on the London Bus network" and as "the tendering authority, there is no legal requirement for LBSL to hold an operator's licence" kindly provide me with the name, postal address, email address and contact telephone number for each Managing Director of any Bus Company holding an operator's licence and presently contracted by LBSL.
