Between Saturday 20th and Friday 26th June'26 - during a record-busting heatwave - the #C3 #CS3 cycleway counter on London's Victoria Embankment recorded:

  • 12k journeys over Saturday and Sunday
  • Mon 22nd: 12,408
  • Tues 23rd: 15,526
  • Weds 24th: 13,520+
  • Thurs 25th: 11k+
  • Fri 26th: 7500 by tea-time, over 71k since previous Friday evening, and up to 673k over the two months since reboot.

The rebooted #C3 #CS3 totem is reportedly "glitchy' with frequent stalls a resets when it struggles with large numbers of folk passing on their bikes.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: The request relates to Wrightbus SRM vehicles and potential royalty payments linked to the New Routemaster design under clause 42 of a contract. #TfL confirmed it holds information indicating Wrightbus was expected to propose royalty payments for the use of London Bus Services Ltd intellectual property in two-door vehicles incorporating New Routemaster design features. However, TfL stated the vehicles were sold to a London operator for use on the TfL network and clause 42 was not applied. It added that it is not aware of any other buyers of the model and confirmed that no royalties were collected for either the SRM vehicles or the original New Routemaster design. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0135-2627

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL said it does not hold any report or study on the feasibility of converting the New Routemaster bus fleet to zero-emission electric operation. Responding to a request published on 1 May 2026, TfL confirmed it has not carried out work assessing such a conversion and therefore cannot provide a report. The authority said the nearest related work is the previously disclosed Equipmake repowering trial, which had already been shared with the requester. TfL added that the request was considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and its information access policy. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0144-2627

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL said it holds data on bus lanes removed or shortened since 2021, but only in terms of total lengths retired rather than a count of individual lanes. A released dataset lists locations across numerous London boroughs, including Westminster, Camden, Southwark and Newham, detailing where lanes have been decommissioned. TfL said rising demand for road space and policies under the Mayor’s Transport Strategy have led to some lanes being suspended temporarily, shortened, or removed to support wider “Safe and Healthy Streets” measures. In some cases, alternative measures such as traffic signal technology are used to prioritise buses. TfL confirmed it does not hold information on specific closure dates or reasons for individual schemes. The dataset also includes operational hours, permitted vehicles and lane characteristics prior to removal. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4338-2526

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has responded to a Freedom of Information request about upcoming Customer Service Assistant (CSA) recruitment. The request, submitted on 11 April 2026, asked when CSA and CSA Night Tube roles would open and when applications would begin. TfL stated that the next London Underground CSA recruitment round is expected to be advertised by November 2026. This is likely to focus on CSA2 full-time roles, although this may change depending on operational needs, with CSA1 full-time roles a possible alternative. Recruitment for CSA1 Night Tube roles is not expected to take place this year and may not be required for some time, based on current workforce forecasts. Job vacancies will be published on TfL’s website.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has published a cost breakdown for the Gallows Corner project following an FOI request. Total expenditure to October 2025, including previous years, stood at £51.5m, with a further £15.1m spent between October 2025 and February 2026. The largest costs fall within construction, including contractors and statutory undertakers such as water main works. TfL said some post-October spending relates to work originally scheduled earlier but delayed due to poor ground conditions. The flyover renewal, described as essential for safety and reliability, is now expected to reopen fully by the end of April 2026, with final project costs to be confirmed by spring 2027. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4206-2526

The update outlines the March 2026 fares revision, with Pay As You Go fares rising by around 6%, while Travelcards, caps and bus and tram fares remain frozen. Oyster card fees have increased to £10.50, and Elizabeth line fares to Heathrow have risen. Project Oval continues expanding contactless travel to more National Rail stations, with over 8.6 million journeys recorded. Work is ongoing to enable National Rail staff discounts on Oyster cards, while around 122,000 Freedom Passes are due for renewal. Station improvements and preparations for major April events are also highlighted. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4937-2526

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has provided internal correspondence relating to a YouTube documentary on changes to the W12 and W14 bus routes. The correspondence, covering March 2025 to present, involves staff, management, bus operators, local councils, and external stakeholders. The video, which highlights the impact of route changes on the elderly, disabled people, and school children, prompted discussions within TfL about service adjustments. Some personal data has been redacted under data protection rules. The release confirms the information exists and is now available, with sensitive details removed in line with #UK GDPR and the FOI Act. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4315-2526

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has responded to a Freedom of Information request about the Silvertown Tunnel Cycle Shuttle, a free service launched on 7 April 2025 to help cyclists cross the Thames. TfL said thousands have used the shuttle, but it does not record month-by-month usage. Instead, it carries out week-long counts at different times of the year as part of its monitoring approach. These figures are published in quarterly reports to the Silvertown Tunnel Implementation Group. TfL said the service is still relatively new and marketing campaigns are continuing to raise awareness, with the expectation that usage will grow as more cyclists learn about it. In response to questions on costs, TfL said it awarded a £1,967,010 contract to Stagecoach to operate the bus service for three years. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4374-2526

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release: #TfL has responded to a request for the Limehouse Station lease plan. TfL confirmed it does not hold a full lease plan, as the land is not owned by the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). Only the DLR viaduct structure, including piers, columns, concrete islands, and foundations, is included in the 200-year lease from Network Rail dated 30 April 1987. TfL provided a plan showing DLR-owned structures in turquoise and areas owned by TfL in green. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-4337-2526
