\u00a0The Not So Super Superloop<\/span><\/p>\n Above is from Roger French’s blog about the last super link recently added.<\/p><\/div>\n A bus boing it …<\/p>\n … and a timetable extract.<\/p>\n The planned journey:-<\/p><\/div>\n This, of course, is where the loop doesn’t. It is also the route that was launched recently with no blinds and no departure lists at the stops. Sadiq’s secrecy stands supreme<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n But Mr Munster has a proper timetable!<\/p><\/div>\n The gap is actually much more yawning than the diagram suggests. You need to insert another bus route in addition to tunnel\/ferry from Woolwich to Thamesmead to “mind the gap”<\/p><\/div>\n He has allowed 30 minutes for the river crossing which gives a backup if the foot tunnel is closed. The Free Ferry can be much slower.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n SL3 – Thamesmead to Bromley<\/span><\/p>\n All stops diagram<\/span><\/p>\n For some reason this timetable has a very large number of time points!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SL5 – Bromley to Croydon<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is the only single deck Superloop route …<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n SL7 – Croydon to Heathrow<\/span><\/p>\n This is a straight renumbering of the former X26, once part of Green Line 726.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n It is also the longest route which makes the diagram a bit of a nonsense.<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n SL9 – Heathrow to Harrow<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This was formerly X140 and before that 140. A simple renumbering …<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n The final map …<\/p>\n … and the final bus in what would be a very long day!<\/p>\n \u00a0The planned journey:-<\/span><\/p>\n The whole circuit, using Saturday times, would take\u00a0a smidgen over nine hours<\/span> with a generous easy interchange at Woolwich.<\/p><\/div>\n Nuff said!<\/p><\/div>\n Wouldn’t the fried eggs cook better without their shells?<\/p><\/div>\n And everything is really lovely!<\/span><\/p>\n
