TfL Ref: FOI-2573-2425

Thank you for your request which we received on 13 November 2024, asking for tender requirements pertaining to bus routes 1 and 24.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You specifically asked:

Could I please see the tender requirements pertaining to bus routes 24 and 168 (now route 1) specifically pertaining the vehicle specifications for each route. I note that in the document: Transport for London - London’s Bus Contracting and Tendering Process: 5.5 that 'The operator may choose the vehicle manufacturer as long as the vehicles meet all of the criteria in the vehicle specification'. It is this specification for both routes that I would like to see.

The requested specifications for routes 1 and 24 are attached. 

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

Eva Hextall
