I believe the differences here for London are:

- Much milder winter temperatures. Certainly nothing like the -10F experienced in Indiana.

- Lower daily mileages. Even though London buses are operated intensively all day long, average speeds are low and a typical bus certainly wouldn’t exceed 200 miles in a day. There is plenty of buffer between what is demanded of the batteries and what they’re capable of.
