Routemaster buses recall

  • Reference: 2017/0614
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Is it correct that more than 400 of the previous Mayor's Routemaster buses are being recalled because of a fault with the doors which means the rear doors can be opened while the bus is actually moving, which then makes the vehicle suddenly stop. If so this fault is on top of the previous faults with their batteries and steering. What is the cost of remedial works on these buses and what is the impact on the reliability of the routes they serve?
