Not that I’m becoming a public transport geek or anything, but today I thought I would try out one of the new Superloop busses. I had heard a bit about them from my browsing on YouTube, and I thought they might be worth investigating. I saw that a new route, SL4, now runs from Lee Green, not far from Eltham, up through the new Silvertown Tunnel to Canary Wharf.

That, then, is what I did this afternoon. To be honest there isn’t that much to report: a bus ride is a bus ride; it was smooth and uneventful. The passage through the new tunnel was cool, if that’s the sort of thing you find cool. From Canary Wharf I simply took the Elizabeth line back to Woolwich. Perhaps the only noteworthy detail was that I was virtually the only passenger on the bus, but that’s probably just because it is so new.

Well, that’s another new piece of London’s spectacular public transport system tried out. Quite a convenient new way to get to Canary Wharf, but that’s about it. To be honest if I wanted to get to Canary Wharf I’d probably still take the jubilee line from North Greenwich, but it was still worth investigating. Even so, all these super new bus routes make me wonder what TFL will come up with next.
