That was in TfL's business plan published on 8 December.

And nice of the Independent to go along with TfL's spin. While I'm no
fan of the NRMs, there's not even a hint of the other narrative:

"Sadiq Khan's fares freeze means TfL can no longer afford to buy other
kinds of new buses in place of the Routemasters".
