A new fleet of buses with cutting-edge features has been introduced on bus route 63.

The buses, operating between north and south London, boast innovative designs, making them a more appealing and eco-friendlier alternative to cars.

Passengers can now enjoy USB chargers and mobile phone holders in the seats, a more open feel with a skylight on the upper deck, larger rear windows, and handles on the backs of seats for an unobstructed view.

Journeys are made more comfortable with high-back seats, and a wood-effect floor adds a touch of class.

Priority seats now have new covers with a contrasting colour scheme, making them easily distinguishable for passengers who are less able to stand.

The TfL buses also offer a larger wheelchair and buggy area.

CCTV cameras have been upgraded to provide higher-definition footage.

New digital signs onboard share a wider range of real-time information, including the time to the next stop, disruptions, and service updates for Tube and Overground services.

The route already provides next-bus information at most bus shelters, and new live information screens are being trialled at many bus stops.

A bus lane added to New Kent Road is also making journeys faster and more reliable.

The high-frequency route sees a bus every five to eight minutes during the morning peak.

These state-of-the-art buses were built by ADL, the country's largest bus and coach manufacturer, in Scarborough.

ADL employs 2,000 people in skilled jobs and supports an apprenticeship scheme, according to TfL.

Other London buses are produced across the UK, including in Ballymena and Falkirk, demonstrating how investment in the capital's transport network benefits the entire country.

The Route 63 buses are now providing a greener, more comfortable, and efficient travel option.
