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?

The Northbound Bank branch is also audible. Whilst TfL are proposing to retrofit rubber bushings onto the stretch of Southbound line which has concrete sleepers which may help, they say that they cannot do anything about the corrugated track exists on both lines because the only...
