Superloop - round London bus service

[existentialist]

mid to late 70s (in terms of when things got that livery)

MDs (delivered in 1976/7) got that livery, as did DM/ DMSs from the same era



and the first few Titans / Metrobuses did



but while the livery hung on until buses got repainted, i think it went out before the 80s started.

I like to think of the 1980s as the late 70s, as it makes me feel less old.

According to TfL, 230 contactless/Oyster cards have been used to make a whole Superloop journey in the same day (all seven Superloop buses). Some cardholders have done this more than once in the last month.

There was a point in the 1980s (I think) where a lot of DMSs had white upper decks and red lower ones, which I thought looked veh smart at the time...

Smart and also practical. It sets the suoerloop buses apart from other buses. Especially handy if you are completing the loop. I've heard rumour that we may well complete another loop; in the opposite direction.

I watched Geoff Marshall's video on doing the whole loop and while mildly interesting, it looked exhausting.

I'll do it as soon as its name has chanced to Hyperloop and a full circuit can be completed in 15 minutes, rather than nine hours.

I await the Grove Park to Canary Wharf super loop.

could be an inner loop and an outer loop if sadiq khan is re-elected

Mrs tag wants to do the circuit again, but in reverse.
I see changes have been proposed. I'm not sure a stop is necessary at Sandilands as it's already well served by trans and buses. The trio to Heathrow proved the busiest by far. I guess it's lots of people going to work there. As for the other alterations?
