HC Deb 24 July 1987 vol 120 c607W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the numbers of crew-operated rear platform buses operated in Central London by London Regional Transport and the numbers he expects them to operate in each of the next five years.

Mr. David Mitchell

London Regional Transport's operating subsidiary, London Buses Ltd., currently has 1,044 such buses in passenger service, predominantly in central and inner London. A further 50 are employed on London sightseeing tours. The requirement in future years is an operational matter for LRT and London Buses Ltd. to determine.
