Great news east Londoners! More rapid bus routes are coming your way faster than you can say ‘superloop’.
Right now, there are nine Superloop routes dutifully serving the outer-boroughs of London, and there a loads more on the way – SL4 (which will be free for the first year), SL11, the Bakerloop and a entirely new network called Superloop 2. Now a consultation has been launched for SL12.
Transport for London wants feedback from you on the next proposed express service. SL12 would run between Rainham, Ferry Lane and Gants Hill via Romford. That means that areas in east London not already linked by rail would get to enjoy easy interchanges with SL2, the Underground at Gants Hill and the Elizabeth line and Overground at Romford.
Ray Morgon, Havering Council leader, said: ‘We are pleased to be working with TfL on a proposed SL12 Superloop route in the borough, something our residents really need and want. This will help towards improving our north south connectivity. The success of the Superloop speaks for itself and because of this, we would like more coverage of the borough.
‘So we encourage residents to get involved in the consultation to inform this new exciting much needed rapid bus route in the borough.’
The consultation for SL12 will be open until May 23. Have your say here. And there’s still time to let TfL know your thoughts on the SL11 between North Greenwich and Abbey Wood here.
