dbo:abstract
  • The Bus Reshaping Plan of 1966 was a plan devised by the London Transport Board for the reorganisation of bus routes in London, England. The main features of the plan, which was to be rolled out over ten to fifteen years, were: * Introduction of one man operation (OMO) to address staff shortages and costs * Introduction of flat fare routes centred on outer hubs * A shortening of routes to improve reliability and ease scheduling * Long single deckers in place of double-deckers The plan began to be implemented in September 1968, but immediately proved problematic: the public disliked the changes, the new vehicles - "Merlin"s - were found to be unsuitable, and it was difficult to find available land for the proposed suburban transport interchanges. By 1973 the plan had effectively been abandoned, with a decision to retain crew operation and to dispose of the Merlins. (en)
