TfL stated in a Freedom of Information request they have recently purchased 20 double deck hydrogen buses and leased them to Metroline for route 7. TfL have been using the same arrangement by directly purchasing 1,000 New Routemasters and leasing them to private operators to use for their routes. Why hasn't TfL made direct purchases of new electric buses and leased them to private operators for their routes, for the purpose of reaching their target of 100% zero-emission bus fleet?
