CLondoner92 (New Account)The Silvertown Tunnel, opened on 7 April 2025, has significantly reduced congestion and journey times in east and south-east <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#London</a>, with a 70% drop in peak northbound travel times on the A102. Delivered on time and on budget, the 1.4km crossing eases pressure on the Blackwall Tunnel, cutting unplanned closures by 39% and enhancing road network resilience. Public transport use has surged, with over 20,000 daily trips on new zero-emission bus routes—an increase of 160%. Around 91,000 vehicles now use both tunnels on a weekday, with overall traffic volumes stable. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TfL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TfL</a> continues to monitor impacts on traffic, air quality and public transport. Additional benefits include cycle shuttle services, discounted travel for low-income users, and improved cross-river connectivity.

CLondoner92 (New Account)Arriva Group has completed a £17m electrification project at its Norwood depot in South <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#London</a>. The upgraded facility will support 30 new zero-emission Enviro400EV double deckers on key <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TfL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TfL</a> routes, including a new <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Superloop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Superloop</a> line linking London’s suburbs with the city centre. Delivered with Zenobē, the project includes 15 smart chargers and power upgrades, supporting the Mayor’s goal for a zero-emission bus fleet by 2030. Arriva’s Zero Emission Institute (ZEI) contributed knowledge and expertise, with learnings shared across European operations. This initiative is part of Arriva’s wider electrification programme in London depots including Croydon, Enfield, and Tottenham. Alexander Dennis supplied the buses, each covered by a 14-year battery warranty and equipped with AD Connect telematics. The investment highlights Arriva’s commitment to clean, reliable public transport and ongoing collaboration with PTAs to deliver sustainable urban mobility. <a href="https://news.arriva.co.uk/news/arriva-group-investment-in-londons-norwood-depot-electrification" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.arriva.co.uk/news/arriva-group-investment-in-londons-norwood-depot-electrification</a>

The 2025/26 settlement totals £307.782 million and is based on a model that considers a two-year journey average, fares, inflation, and service changes. TfL does not hold specific data on journeys made by disabled Freedom Pass holders in Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead, or Leatherhead. Journey-level data from Oyster cards is retained only for 8–9 weeks and does not reliably distinguish between standard and disabled pass use. Approximately 17% of Freedom Pass journeys are made by disabled users. TfL typically relies on network-wide figures across London rather than individual route analysis when calculating settlements. <a href="https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1257-2526" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1257-2526</a>

The scheme, in partnership with Lambeth Council, includes new pedestrian crossings, a protected cycle lane, better pavements and enhanced bus lanes. Lane closures between Brixton Hill and Sternhold Avenue will lead to delays, with overnight closures on 3 and 4 August. Buses will run their usual routes but may face diversions or temporary stop changes. This first phase runs until autumn, with work continuing until spring 2027.

Key challenges include power availability at garages and limited capacity for charging and parking. TfL does not directly manage diesel bus redeployment — this is the responsibility of bus operators, who may use the buses elsewhere in the UK. Retrofitting diesel buses to electric is a potential solution, but the choice of technology for each route (battery-electric, hydrogen, or repowered vehicles) lies with operators. TfL continues to work with them to assess where hydrogen fuel cell buses, like those on route 7, may be suitable based on garage location and route characteristics. <a href="https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1082-2526" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1082-2526</a>
