Hybrid buses in use

There are 225 diesel-electric hybrid buses in London, running on
routes 3, 12, 15, 16, 24, 76, 94, R70, 139, 141, 149, 380, 328, 360,
371, H91, E8, 73, 436 and 188.

The 225 hybrid buses operating in London are split between 7 bus
operating companies and 10 different types of hybrid buses.

Hybrid buses get a big thumbs up from me.


On a related note , what happened to those hydrogen buses that were plying
their trade around central london about 8 years back and that Mayor Ken made
such a big deal about at the time? Were they sold, scrapped, or just left in a
depot to rot?
