Politicians hold London up as the epitome of bus travel. Mayor controlled authorities in metropolitan conurbations are busy implementing ‘London style’ buses through franchising originally siting growth in bus travel in the Capital as the justification. But that notion became outdated as long ago as 2015 since when passenger numbers have consistently fallen in London despite the population increasing.
During 2021 and 2022 the reality of ‘London style’ buses became regular reductions in timetables, and while the majority of bus routes still offer a ‘turn up and go’ frequency, this is now typically every 10-12 minutes or wider rather than 6-8 minutes or better as many passengers had become used to.
During 2023 Mayor Khan announced plans to enhance the outer London bus network by introducing new Superloop branded routes offering attractive limited stop ‘express’ alternatives. Renumbering and rebranding existing limited stop routes 607 (SL9), X140 (SL10), X68 (SL6) and X26 (SL7) was followed at the end of the year by new routes SL10 and SL1. The latter two saw increases in vehicles while the SL7’s frequency was doubled also increasing the number of vehicles. Further new Superloop branded routes continued in 2024 and 2025 and proposals for services SL11 to SL15 were subjected to consultation during 2025.
The following schedule gives details of reductions (and where appropriate, increases) in frequencies on a week by week basis since August 2021 and is regularly updated. It doesn’t show decreases (or increases) in Peak Vehicles associated with contract renewals/changes or improvements to reliability where no change in the frequency of service has been applied.
The number of buses cut from schedules between the end of January 2021 and the end of January 2022 was 263 buses with the peak vehicle requirement dropping from 7,818 to 7,555.
The following 12 months to the end of January 2023 saw a net reduction of 131 buses bringing the PVR down further to 7,424.
A further net reduction of 81 buses occurred during February to December 2023 after taking account of the additional 24 buses invested in Superloop routes SL1, SL7 and SL10 bringing the PVR down to 7,343.
The PVR increased by a net of 39 buses in 2024, mainly due to additional buses required for new Superloop routes, changes in the Croydon area and new route 310 net of reductions in some frequencies earlier in the year.
In 2025 reductions in frequencies and route withdrawals saw a reduction in PVR of 77 but this was offset by new routes through the Silvertown Tunnel which opened and the new BL1, an extension to route 315 and an increase in frequency on route B11 needing 52 buses making for a net decrease in PVR for the year of 25.
The total net reduction in Peak Vehicles for the five years between 2021 and 2025 is 361 having taken account of an investment of 103 additional buses in the new Superloop network (including the BL1) and a further 18 buses with routes 129 and SCC in the new Silvertown Tunnel and 8 buses on new route 310. Without these increases the reduction in buses would have been 490 over the five year period.
