  1. #Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

    #TfL has confirmed it holds information requested about the branding of BYD BD11 electric buses for #Superloop Routes SL2 and SL11. The request sought approved branding, livery, vinyl and graphic artwork, design specifications, branding guidelines, mock-ups, details of differences from other Superloop routes, and final visual approval documents.

    TfL said the request, received on 18 July 2026, was considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. It provided General Arrangement drawings for Superloop routes, including SL2 and SL11, with SL12 excluded as its branding and marketing work is still ongoing.

  3. #Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
    🚌🌈 #TfL has provided pre-planning documents for #Superloop routes SL1, SL4, SL9, SL10 and SL11, with no papers for SL6, SL7 or SL8. The documents outline proposals for limited-stop services, including new routes X34/SL1 and X183/SL10, frequency adjustments, and re-tendering options for route 472. Infrastructure projects such as the Silvertown Tunnel and Elizabeth line prompted route extensions and modifications, with zero-emission buses required for tunnel services. Common implementation requirements include sufficient standing space, route testing for longer vehicles, and updated customer information. Some material has been redacted.

  5. #Transport for #London has published a consultation report on proposals for the #Superloop express bus network, including a new route SL14 between Stratford bus station and Chingford Hatch, and changes to route D8 in Stratford. The public consultation, held from 25 September to 5 November 2025, received 856 responses. Route SL14 was broadly supported for faster, more frequent journeys and reduced crowding on route 158, though concerns were raised about congestion and frequency reductions. Feedback on D8 changes was mixed. #TfL plans to introduce SL14 and D8 adjustments in 2027, with minor stop changes at Waltham Park Way and Blackhorse Road.

    The SL11 #Superloop bus route, which currently uses New Routemaster #buses, is expected to switch to electric buses by the end of 2026. This follows a Freedom of Information request submitted on 24 January, with TfL confirming it holds the information regarding the route’s electrification.

  9. #Transport for #London has published a draft #Business Plan setting out its priorities to 2029/30, focused on improving public transport, supporting growth and making the capital greener and more accessible. The plan includes sustained investment in core infrastructure, new trains for the Piccadilly line and #DLR, a refurbished Central line fleet, more Elizabeth line services and replacement trams. It proposes extending the DLR to Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead, expanding the #Superloop bus network, increasing bus priority and accelerating the move to a fully zero-emission bus fleet. #TfL also plans major upgrades to streets and traffic management to cut congestion, continued investment in cycling and road safety, and more step-free stations. Property development through Places for London is expected to support new homes and jobs. The plan will be considered by the TfL Board in February 2026. 🚇🚍🏗️🏠🚦🏙️

  11. As #London expands its #Superloop express bus network, should Ireland’s NTA launch a similar route parallel to the proposed #Dublin MetroLink? This could serve as a "live demonstration" of the corridor's potential, much like the Bakerloop did for London’s Bakerloo line extension. 🚌

  13. #Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
    #TfL has confirmed that there are no plans to introduce a #Superloop bus service to Bluewater. The confirmation follows a Freedom of Information request asking whether a Superloop route could be introduced to serve the shopping centre, potentially replacing route 492 with a more frequent limited-stop service. The request highlighted the popularity of the Superloop network and noted that Bluewater is located outside Greater London, raising questions about cross-boundary funding with Kent authorities. In its response, TfL said it holds the relevant information and stated clearly that no Superloop service to Bluewater is planned.

  15. #Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
    #TfL has responded to a request regarding the SL6 #Superloop service. The service currently operates limited hours, and TfL has no plans to expand or trial a full-time service. Only one other request for a full-time service was received in 2025. Latest ridership data for 2024–25 is published online. In 2025, TfL recorded 149 customer contacts about the route, with the main concerns being driver behaviour—refusals to pick up or open doors—and service reliability, including delays and gaps. SL6 buses maintained an average speed of 8.19–8.77 mph, showing stable performance across the year. Minor complaints included vehicle layout, temperature, cleanliness, and signage.

  17. #Transport for #London Bus service changes
    From Saturday 24 January 2026, a new #Superloop route SL11 will operate between North Greenwich Bus Station and Abbey Wood Station via Woolwich town centre. SL11 will call only at designated stops along the route and be operated by Go Ahead with double-deck #buses. Services run every 6–12 minutes during the day and until midnight, with the first bus at 0458 from Abbey Wood and 0500 from North Greenwich. Route 472 will be withdrawn and replaced by SL11, with a new night service N472 running every 30 minutes. Passengers needing stops no longer served by SL11 can use other local routes and the £1.75 Hopper fare for transfers.

  19. #Transport for #London Have Your Say:
    #TfL is consulting on proposals for a new #Superloop express bus route, SL13, linking Hendon War Memorial to Ealing Broadway (Haven Green), with limited stops at key locations. To support this, route E7 would be extended to Ealing Common via Uxbridge Road, no longer serving Haven Green. SL13 would run every 12–15 mins from 05:00 to 00:30 daily, using double-deckers with modern facilities. The route aims to improve journey times and increase capacity between Hendon and Ealing. If introduced, frequencies on routes E7, 112, and 232 may be adjusted. TfL seeks feedback on route, stops, and bus stand changes. The E7 change would affect around 400 passengers daily, requiring a short walk to alternative stops.
    Consultation closes on 22 October 2025

  21. Arriva Group has completed a £17m electrification project at its Norwood depot in South #London. The upgraded facility will support 30 new zero-emission Enviro400EV double deckers on key #TfL routes, including a new #Superloop line linking London’s suburbs with the city centre. Delivered with Zenobē, the project includes 15 smart chargers and power upgrades, supporting the Mayor’s goal for a zero-emission bus fleet by 2030. Arriva’s Zero Emission Institute (ZEI) contributed knowledge and expertise, with learnings shared across European operations. This initiative is part of Arriva’s wider electrification programme in London depots including Croydon, Enfield, and Tottenham. Alexander Dennis supplied the buses, each covered by a 14-year battery warranty and equipped with AD Connect telematics. The investment highlights Arriva’s commitment to clean, reliable public transport and ongoing collaboration with PTAs to deliver sustainable urban mobility.

  28. I keep thinking that #sfmuni should look at how to reduce travel times on key routes. I first saw how the Chicago L had a skip-stop strategy ( an A and a B train that shared a stop every few stations) and how it reduced travel times. Now I read about #Superloop buses to reduce travel times, to great acclaim, it appears.

    Can SF learn from these examples? It's essential to greater mode shift.
