Could London’s bus Superloop help beat train strikes?

London’s ‘Superloop’ spans some 85 miles of road - just 30 miles shy of the length of the M25. Now, a new south London section of the capital’s orbital bus network is being proposed by Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan - but his Tory rival, Susan Hall, says Khan should focus on delivering an unfunded £10 billion Bakerloo line extension. It comes as commuters brace for days of fresh travel misery as a wave of train and Underground strikes were announced. For the latest, Mark Blunden’s joined on this episode aboard a route SL1 bus, linking Walthamstow Central and North Finchley, by the Standard's transport editor, Ross Lydall. Hosted on Acast.
