HC Deb 09 December 1969 vol 793 c58W
68. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport how many buses were running in London in 1968 as compared with 1963 and 1959.

Mr. Bob Brown

The numbers of buses and coaches maintained by London Transport at the end of the years in question were:

1959 8,243 (including trolley buses).
1963 8,059.
1968 7,483.

On any one day, not all of these would have been in operation.
