The 472 bus service in southeast London is being replaced by a new Superloop, offering significantly fewer stops but faster service. The Superloop will operate between Charlton station and Woolwich Elizabeth Line station, with only two intermediate stops to expedite travel. Passengers who relied on the previous 40-stop service will need alternative transportation or face longer walks to their destinations. The night service will continue, and the new service, designated as SL11, is expected to launch early next year, although Transport for London has acknowledged potential inconveniences for some passengers.
The 472 bus route in southeast London is being replaced by a Superloop service with only three stops, cutting down on the number of stops from nearly 40.
The new Superloop service will run between Charlton station and Woolwich Elizabeth Line station, allowing for faster travel but requiring longer walks to many previous stops.
Passengers needing to access previously served stops by the 472 will face challenges, as they will need to find alternative transport or walk longer distances.
Transport for London acknowledges that the changes may not suit everyone and is introducing measures like same-stop changes and Hopper fare to ease the transition.
