The Bakerloop. New DLR trains. More zero-emission buses.
And, of course, Bus Aunty.
That’s a wrap on our journey through London’s transport updates for 2025.

Russia preparing to proclaim future Ukrainian elections rigged, Zelensky says, citing intelligence
Elections have been floated as part of a peace or ceasefire deal that Ukraine has been discussing with the U.S., but voting in the occupied territories complicates the process.
