    Yeah - Should easily be able to make £162Bn a year from that bus I’d have thought.

    I saw the new super loop pulling into Bromley North on Saturday, did wonder what it was so good to know it goes to Slade Green.

    Khan puts a superloop in place and the SL3 is running old 61 plate buses.
    really good for the environment I’m sure.

    Euro 6 compliant Hybrids, and will
    be replaced by a new fleet in time.

    Followed a 96 bus up from Crayford over the weekend, the smoke coming out of the exhaust was dirtier than a coal miner’s bath water. Not sure how it was ULEZ compliant.

    I expect some anti Khan fanatic will be up there with a chain saw tonight (if that's real, it doesn't look real).

    Costs £25k to fit and install each sign.

    Probably.

    Given that the whole point of this bus is that it doesn't stop at all stops, surely it's a good idea to make the bus stops that do and don't have Superloop stops easy to tell apart from a distance?

    You wait until they see the bus stops in Chistlehurst.

    The ones I’ve seen certainly aren’t hybrid.

    So after Sidcup station what's the next stop in either direction?

    Edit: Ignore that, found a map/timetable.

    Took 50 mins on Sat lunchtime from Sidcup to Abbey Wood. Traffic getting through Bexleyheath main problem, then queueing on Long Lane onto Brampton. Near hour of a bus with a raging hangover to then have a blood test not the best pre-match routine I’ll be looking to repeat :-)

    Should have called it 'Sloop'. Smaller signs could have saved thousands. Those letters cost money ya know ;)

    To then get train to Charlton, and seeing as they live on route, how long it will take getting to parents that way

    Such a Charlton thread, they dont call us trainspotters or nothing, although it may have to be changed to public transport spotters from now on.

    Biggest investment in the area since they installed exit arrows all the way out of Albany Park
