Weren't we supposed to be getting some hybrid buses running on the
streets Real Soon Now about a year ago? They were to be powered by
electric motors with a small diesel engine to charge the batteries
AFAIR. Are they out there now or still in the design stage or did they
get the boot along with Comrade Ken?

There are hybrids on the 129 and 360 (single decks) and a lone Wright
Hybrid double deck on the 141 (I believe). There are a number of
orders outstanding including some Enviro 400 double decks for the 16
at Cricklewood and a batch of Optare Tempo single decks due for the
276 as well. I think there are also some new style Wright Gemini
Hybrids due as well but I can't recall hearing a route being suggested
for these buses.

Of course as I work for TfL I can't be trusted and the above
information may be a complete lie ;-)
