Title of request: Bus vehicle specifications, branding guidance and livery

Information request:

Dear Reading Borough Council,

I have a freedom of information request.

Transport for London has published bus vehicle specifications and design
standards for London Buses (including branding, bus livery, shelter, bus
stop etc.).

[1]https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparenc...

[2]https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/suppliers-an...

Would you be able to publish a document of your bus vehicle
specifications, including your new buses that you have purchased, and a
document of your branding guidance and livery design for your bus
services?

Are there plans to purchase more zero-emission buses, including the use of
dual-doors, which London Buses specifies to reduce dwell times at bus
stops?

Yours faithfully,

Natalie Bunce
