New Superloop 2 bus proposed

A consultation into a new Superloop express bus service, which will link several neighbourhoods across southeast London, has opened.

The proposed SL11 route would run from the O2 in North Greenwich to Abbey Wood station, with limited stops along the way in Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, and Thamesmead.

The SL11 forms part of Sir Sadiq Khan’s Superloop 2 network — a new collection of express services, promised in his re-election manifesto last year, to compliment the original Superloop network, which Transport for London (TfL) launched in 2023.

According to TfL, the SL11 would follow the same route ‘as the 472 does now, except for Woolwich town centre, where its route would be more direct’.
