Please could you provide me with the following information:

The same for buses in use on rail replacement bus services for London Underground, London Overground and TfL Rail.

Dear Graham,
Many thanks for your reply.
Are you able to clarify whether information about rail replacement buses is not held because engine type/rating is not specified in the tender, or simply because the information has not been recorded?
Yours sincerely,

Dear M Deutsch
Our ref: FOI-0565-1617
Thank you for your further e-mail regarding the response to your recent
FOI request. We do not require operators to specify which vehicles from
their fleet will be used on rail replacement services when they tender and
so we do not hold the data requested.
If you have any further queries please let us know.
Yours sincerely
