TfL unveiled the new set of buses on November 20, which include pantograph technology that connects to the roof of the bus at each end of the 15-mile long journey, allowing them to charge in as little as six minutes.
A TfL spokesperson confirmed awareness of a road traffic collision involving a route 358 bus and another vehicle, stating: We understand that the collision was minor and thankfully, no one was injured.
Conservative Councillor Nicholas Bennett emphasized that the pantograph technology is several years out of date, pointing out that such charging systems have existed in European cities for years.
Labour Councillor Kathy Bance reported that one of the first new 358 buses hit a car belonging to a Labour councillor's wife during the inaugural journeys on Sevenoaks Road.
