§ Mr. NorrisI understand that LBL has not sold any of its surplus buses to private companies operating LT bus routes. LBL has leased 46 Routemaster vehicles to London Transport's tendered bus division, which has in turn leased them to private operators to run routes 13 and 19. Both routes have been run under contract by private operators since 1993. The 46 Routemasters are more than 15 years old.
