London Service Permits

Most of the routes on our bus network are put out to tender. If you want to run a bus, coach or tours service outside of our network, you'll need to apply for a London Service Permit.

Apply for a London Service Permit

Before you complete this form make sure you have all the relevant details to hand:

  • Personal/licence details
  • Route/service descriptions (including stopping points)
  • Vehicle details
  • Disability information
  • Health and safety documentation

We require a minimum of three months' notice of the proposed start date of the service. If roads are currently not served by local bus services, or new stopping and terminal points are proposed, a longer notice period is desirable.

We may use the data in your application form for research purposes.
