A consultation has opened for the new SL11 Superloop express bus service in south-east London, connecting the O2 in North Greenwich to Abbey Wood station. This route replaces the current 472 with planned limited stops in key areas like Charlton and Woolwich, enhancing travel options in neglected Thamesmead. Operating from 05:00 to midnight, this service aims to support local regeneration efforts. The initiative is part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's broader transportation strategy, including proposed extensions to the Docklands Light Railway and the new Bakerloop bus service.
"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 would only operate between 05:00 and midnight, supporting early stages of regeneration plans in Thamesmead, one of London’s hardest-to-reach areas."
"It is also hoped that the bus service would support the early stages of regeneration plans in Thamesmead, which is one of London's hardest-to-reach areas due to the lack of any Tube or railway services."
"The SL11 would utilise double-decker buses with USB charging points and would link up with the existing SL3 route that runs from Thamesmead down to Bromley."
