Alright, hold onto your Oyster cards, because London’s transport scene might be gearing up for a potential arrival of Superloop 2. The original Superloop, an express bus route connecting the capital's suburban town centres, is already proving popular and was only launched this year.
So, what's the scoop? Well, it's all part of the plan from the mayor to give Londoners more options to get from A to B. We're talking about not just one or two new routes, but a whole bunch of them. And get this – the plans are to also introduce a 'Bakerloop' service as an alternative to the Bakerloo line.
Check out the proposed routes:
- Harrow to Barnet, via Edgware
- Barnet to Stratford, via Enfield and Chingford
- Leytonstone to South Havering, via Gants Hill and Romford
- North Greenwich to Thamesmead, via Woolwich
- ‘Bakerloop line’: Elephant and Castle to Lewisham, via Old Kent Road and New Cross
- Streatham to Eltham, via Tulse Hill and Lee
- Richmond to Wimbledon, via Roehampton
- Ealing Broadway to Kingston, via Great West Road and Richmond
- Hounslow to Hammersmith, via Great West Road
- Hendon to Ealing Broadway, via Brent Cross and Hanger Lane
NEW: The success of the Superloop is one of my proudest achievements, connecting Londoners in outer London & getting more people onto public transport.

So, Londoners, what do you reckon? Could Superloop 2 be the answer to our commuting troubles, or is it just wishful thinking? With speculation swirling and consultations underway, we're itching to see if this ambitious plan will become a reality.
