You asked
Dear Transport for London, I was wondering if in your files or archive you have older design standards for Dennis Darts that used to operate in London. I'm mainly looking for any issue between 1-4. I own an ex-London bus, that I'm restoring to its original London guise and would like to get like to get every decal correct. Hence why I need the older design standard files. Currently, you have Issue 5 published: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-buses-bus-graphics-standard-issue05.pdf

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 22nd April 2024 asking for old bus design standards.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

Specifically you asked:

“I was wondering if in your files or archive you have older design standards for Dennis Darts that used to operate in London. I'm mainly looking for any issue between 1-4.

Currently, you have Issue 5 published: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-buses-bus-graphics-standard-issue05.pdf”.

I can confirm that we hold the information you require (versions 1, 2 and 4 of the Standard – note that version 3 was cancelled). However, as the size of the relevant files exceeds the threshold for email content (each standard is over 16MB) we can only provide access via a Sharepoint site (to which the files have now been added) and to grant access to this site we require a direct email address. If you could you please provide us with your direct email address, citing your FOI reference number, then we will be able to grant access to the site.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely,

David Wells
