History
The route was retained by Arriva London with a contract awarded in May 2005.[1]
Route 141 was the first route to be served by hybrid electric double-decker buses, with the first one entering service in March 2007.[2]
A bus operating on route 141 was involved in an accident near Monument station on 24 February 2010. Eleven people including the driver were injured when the bus crashed into a set of railings and narrowly avoided falling down the steps into the station.[3][4]
Upon being re-tendered, route 141 was retained by Arriva London with a new contract commencing on 12 January 2013.[5] In August 2014, a bus on the route was used to test technology that displays seat availability on a screen at the base of the stairs. [6][7][8]
