A little more about us
Our Shepherd’s Bush garage took a momentous further step towards zero emissions in February 2020 with the introduction of West London’s first 24-hour, double-deck electric bus route: Route 94 (Acton Green to Piccadilly Circus). The electric buses on Route 94 join the 36 single-deck vehicles we introduced in 2018 when we converted to electric operation two other routes: the C1 (Victoria to White City) and the 70 (South Kensington to Chiswick). Our electric buses are making a positive contribution towards the mayor’s goal of running a 100 per cent zero emissions fleet in the capital.
