#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

#TfL said there has never been a confirmed date for introducing Wrightbus Electroliner buses on route 252. #Rainham Garage has enough power for existing electric routes 165, 174 and 287, but a major electricity grid upgrade is needed before route 252 and others can switch to electric, with completion hoped for by the end of the year. TfL does not buy buses, so it does not hold Electroliner costs. Around 820 double-deck and 240 single-deck Electroliners operate across the TfL network. Passenger numbers are available through TfL's BUSTO dataset. There are no plans to change route 252 or its stops, although the network is kept under review. Route 252 uses #Romford Station stops X and Y because the closest stops cannot accommodate all bus services.

🚍⚡️ #London has reached a major environmental milestone, with more than 3,000 zero-emission #buses now in service, representing around a third of #Transport for London’s fleet ahead of Clean Air Day. The number has increased from just 30 electric buses in 2016, making London home to the largest zero-emission bus fleet in Western #Europe. #TfL estimates a fully zero-emission bus fleet could save five million tonnes of carbon over the next 20 years, while the current fleet already cuts emissions by more than 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. All new London buses have been zero-emission since 2021. TfL has also completed the conversion of lighting at around 12,000 bus shelters to LED #technology, reducing energy use by more than half and improving visibility. The 3,000th zero-emission bus is operating on route 165 between #Romford and #Rainham.

#WrongLondon is well built and, barring an occasional leaking of existential #dread, well maintained. But where are its architects, its construction workers?

Who made it?

The Rainham volcano: a waste dump is constantly on fire in east London. Why will no one stop it?

Under Arnolds Field, tonnes of illegally dumped waste have been burning for years, spewing pollution over the area. Locals fear for their health – and despair that no one seems willing to help
