Transport for London (TfL) is an executive body of the Greater London Authority, created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for the Capital’s transport system. Its primary role is to implement the Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy and manage transport services across the Capital. TfL is made up of many predecessor organisations covering almost all transport modes in London, and therefore has the ingredients and accumulated experience to provide one of the largest integrated transport systems in the world.

TfL owns 1,000 New Routemasters (NRMs) which are leased out to bus operating companies to operate on specific routes which predominately operate in Central London. As an incarnation of the original AEC Routemaster, NRMs have become an iconic feature in London’s streets and gained reputational importance to the brand of TfL. The NRM is a unique bus designed and intended to be used in London for its full economic life.
The first NRMs were introduced into TfL’s bus fleet in in February 2012 and are now due their mid-life aesthetic refurbishment. The latest operational NRM was introduced in early 2017 meaning that all 1,000 buses will need to be refurbished over the next 5 years. The objectives of this refurbishment include maintaining a good level of ambiance and vehicle standards for customers as well as the positive impacts this may have on patronage numbers.
