🚍 A new SL12 #Superloop bus route linking Gants Hill, Romford, Elm Park and Rainham will begin operating on Saturday 5 September, expanding the network into Havering for the first time. The service will provide quicker links to #Romford, the Elizabeth line, District and Central line stations, King George’s and Queen’s hospitals, and Ferry Lane Industrial Estate, which will gain a bus service for the first time.
The electric, zero-emission #buses will run roughly every 12 minutes during the day from Monday to Saturday and every 15 minutes in the evenings and on Sundays. Pay-as-you-go journeys on the SL12 will be free from 5 September until 11 September, provided passengers touch in with a valid Oyster or contactless card or device.
The launch follows more than 81 million journeys on Superloop routes since 2023. #Transport for #London is also increasing SL9 services and plans further Superloop routes and electric buses.

For at least 17 years this former doorway has been bricked in, but the sign above continues to tout the one-time video club and the availability of beers, wines, and spirits.
