Overview

The Mayor of London and TfL are proposing to expand the Superloop network to provide additional express bus routes.

As part of this initial Superloop expansion, we are proposing to introduce a new express bus service called the Bakerloop, which would be numbered route BL1. This proposed service would provide an express link between Waterloo, Elephant & Castle, and Lewisham town centre. This would provide much-needed connectivity in the area and support our plans to deliver the Bakerloo line extension.

Subject to future consultations, two other routes would form part of this initial phase of the proposed Superloop expansion. We are proposing to introduce route SL11, which would run between Thamesmead and North Greenwich. This would support the early stages of regeneration plans in Thamesmead and our proposals to extend the DLR. We would also introduce route SL12, which would run between Rainham, Ferry Lane and Gants Hill, extending the Superloop network further into outer London.

These plans form part of the Mayor’s commitments to:

  • Improve public transport connectivity and capacity between south east London and central London by delivering some of the benefits of the Bakerloo line extension
  • Provide a bus transit scheme in Thamesmead, following funding secured from Government in the 2023 Autumn Statement
  • Further improve public transport in outer London by building on the success of the Superloop

Superloop expansion proposals

The Superloop was first launched in 2023. This bus network is providing customers with quicker journey times in outer London to key places such as town centres, hospitals, schools, and transport interchanges. This is helping to make sustainable bus travel a popular option for more people. Bus ridership on Superloop corridors has grown by up to 9 per cent more than the network average. The network connects people using it with 310 other bus routes, 49 rail stations and 23 rail lines, improving connectivity in outer London.

We are now proposing to further develop this network of express bus routes to connect even more places in London. The expansion is proposed to be introduced in stages. We would initially expand the network to include the following bus routes:

  • Bakerloop, which would be numbered route BL1 - Waterloo, Elephant & Castle to Lewisham town centre
  • Route SL11 - Abbey Wood to North Greenwich via Woolwich. Under these proposals, the existing route 472 would renumbered as route SL11 and operate as an express service
  • Route SL12 - Rainham, Ferry Lane to Gants Hill via Romford

More about the Bakerloop proposals

The proposed Bakerloop service, which would eventually be known as route BL1, would run between Waterloo, Elephant & Castle and Lewisham town centre via Burgess Park, Old Kent Road, New Cross Gate and Lewisham station. This would create new and direct journey links between these areas and easier connections between London Underground, London Overground, DLR, National Rail and other bus routes. The consultation for this proposal is now live.

This express bus service would follow the same route as the proposed Bakerloo line extension from Elephant & Castle to Lewisham. As such, it would serve both existing stations and areas where new stations are proposed as part of the Bakerloo line extension. The proposed Bakerloop would therefore enable us to deliver express bus capacity and other benefits to south east London in advance of proposed extension of the tube line. Subject to the outcome of the consultation, passenger service on the Bakerloop, route BL1, could potentially start in autumn 2025. Any eventual ‘Bakerloop’ service would be part-funded by Southwark Council through Section 106 funding from development in the area.

The proposals for the Bakerloo line extension are essential to the development and regeneration plans for Old Kent Road in the London Borough of Southwark and New Cross Gate and Lewisham town centres in the London Borough of Lewisham. This is because good high-capacity transport connectivity is required to realise the full economic, social, and environmental benefits to these areas.

Continued investment in the transport network is needed to support growth and jobs in London. We’re continuing discussions with the Government to secure a viable funding package for the proposed Bakerloo line extension, while also exploring what funding opportunities London could contribute to this.

More about route SL11 proposals

We have announced proposals to expand the Superloop express bus network with a new service between North Greenwich and Abbey Wood via Woolwich and Thamesmead. The SL11 would replace current route 472, operating as a limited-stop express service. It would follow the same line of route as the 472 does now except for in Woolwich town centre where its route would be more direct.

The consultation ended on 13 April 2025.

To deliver the full potential of these regeneration plans, we are also proposing to extend the DLR from Gallions Reach, with new stations at Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead.

Return to the top of the page

More about route SL12 proposals

We have announced proposals to extend the Superloop express bus network with a new service between Gants Hill and Rainham, via Romford and we would like to hear your views. The proposed SL12 route aims to create direct journey links between key destinations in north-east and east London and would operate alongside other local bus routes, including popular routes into Ilford, Barkingside and Rainham.

Consultation ends on Friday 23 May 2025.

Working with boroughs

We are working closely with the relevant boroughs to ensure these plans work for London’s communities. This work will help us develop proposals that complement the growth plans of these local authorities, while also ensuring operational and infrastructure requirements for the proposed bus routes are met.
