I haven't been to London for a few years. But I've heard a lot on
this newsgroup about the elimination of Routemasters except for a few
"heritage" services, and the widespread introduction of articulated
single-deck buses. What I haven't heard about is the status of the
*other* double-deckers, the ones operated only by a driver. Are these
still in use on some routes or have they been totally replaced without
my hearing about it? If they are still in use, are they expected to
be totally replaced? And what about the smaller single-deck buses
that I used to see on some of the quieter routes? And are there other
important subcategories these days that I didn't think to ask about?

Are there statistics somewhere about how many buses are in use of each
of these types, or how many routes they operate on? I'm just looking
for a general idea here, and I don't particularly want to know about
specific models of bus unless they differ in important ways.

at least makes the bendies obvious, and

http://www.londonbusroutes.net/details.htm

has too much detail for you, but would show what are single-deck and
double-deck routes (and usually the length of the bus type), but
currently there are a number of routes in the list that say DD when they
should say SD.
