Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 21 October 2019.
Following Wrightbus going into administration, what assurances does TfL have that London’s new Routemasters will continue to be properly maintained?
Most day-to-day maintenance is carried out by the bus operators. This will continue as before, with many vehicle parts previously sourced from Wrightbus available through alternative suppliers. Transport for London and its bus operators are currently working with the administrators over the level of support available from the manufacturer and how to obtain more specific parts. The position will become clearer over the coming weeks.
