Request ID: FOI-0966-2425 Date published: 22 July 2024
You asked
Hello,
I know this is a big request but if possible would you be able to provide me with a report of the 385 telling me what vehicle ID operated on a certain trip on dates between September 2021-March 2024? I know its a lot of data but I would like to look at the stats to see how often the regular bus is on, if not possible even a month or 2's data would do.
Many Thanks

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24 June 2024, asking for information about bus route 385.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold some of the information you require.
Please find attached the vehicle/trip information as requested.
Please note the following:
Only two years of iBus data is available
Trips/Bonnet No. data is grouped by quarter and by calendar months, from July 2022 to June 2024, for each direction
Bonnet Numbers are assigned to each vehicle by the corresponding bus operator for easy identification. This is not the vehicle registration number. For licence registrations on vehicles that served Route 385 in the last two years, please refer to the separate file named ‘Licence Registrations’.
Typically, one vehicle is used to serve the route daily, however there may be instances where due to mechanical issues, another substitute vehicle is introduced for continuation of service. These vehicle(s) will appear as being operated on the same day.
Please let me know if this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Graham Hurt
