London's Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has proposed several bus changes. If re-elected on the second of May, He will implement 10 new Superloop routes, Including a Bakerloo line express bus. Sadiq will also extend route 210, Which will be converted to single deckers. And review bringing London's buses into public ownership.
Part 1: Superloop 2.
Currently, there are 9 Superloop express bus routes, With route SL4 starting in March 2025. The 10 new proposed routes will be...
• Leytonstone to South Havering, via Gants Hill (for the SL2) and Romford.
This route is likely to follow route 66 up to Romford.
• Barnet to Stratford, via Walthamstow (for the SL1 and SL2), Enfield and Chingford.
This route could follow the 97 or 158 from Stratford to Chingford, And route 307 between Barnet and Enfield.
• Barnet to Harrow (for the SL9 and SL10), via Edgware.
• Hendon (for the SL10) to Ealing Broadway (for the SL8), Via Brent Cross and Hanger Lane.
This route could follow the 112, which runs from North Finchley to Ealing.
• Ealing Broadway (for the SL8) to Kingston (for the SL7), Via Great West Road and Richmond.
This route follows the 65 which also runs from Ealing to Kingston
• Hounslow to Hammersmith via Great West Road.
This route would likely follow route H91, which runs from Hounslow West to Hammersmith.
• Richmond to Wimbledon, via Roehampton.
This route could be an express version of route 493 to Putney Heath, And route 93 from Putney Heath to Wimbledon.
• Streatham to Eltham, via Tulse Hill (for the SL6, which would now stop here).
• North Greenwich to Thamesmead, via Woolwich.
This route would be an express version of route 472.
• And finally, the Bakerloop route. This route would follow the unbuilt Bakerloo line extension. It would run from Elephant & Castle to Lewisham, Via Burgess Park, Old Kent Road and New Cross Gate. Buses will be fitted with Bakerloo line moquettes, and will have a Bakerloo style colour scheme.
Route SL7, which currently runs from Heathrow Airport to West Croydon, Could be cut to Sutton from West Croydon. This route is currently the longest in London, And cutting the route could allow electric buses to run on it.
The SL7's withdrawn section would be replaced by an extended route SL5, Which currently runs from Bromley to Croydon Town Centre.
So far, no route numbers have been announced for the new Superloop routes.
Part 2: An extension to route 210.
Sadiq has proposed to extend route 210 to Stamford Hill. The route currently runs from Brent Cross to Finsbury Park. Via Golders Green, Hampstead Heath, Highgate Village, Archway and Crouch Hill. The route would use single decker buses, Even though the 210 has been retained by Metroline with new double deckers.
Part 3: The new "London Bus Company".
Another pledge by Sadiq is to establish a new London Bus Company, Which would bring routes into public ownership. Under Kahn's new policy, once contracts expire, Public ownership under the new operator would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
