"A Bakerloo line extension will take years to build, and I don't want to wait any longer to improve transport connections for Londoners. That's why I've introduced the Bakerloop now - a faster, greener service, building on the success of the Superloop, that delivers the links people need immediately, while showcasing just how transformative the Bakerloo line extension could be for our city and economy."
"We're excited to be welcoming customers onto the brand-new express BL1 bus connecting Waterloo and Lewisham with faster and more direct journeys. To celebrate its launch, all bus rides on the BL1 will be completely free for customers in the first week, so we encourage everyone to take advantage of this offer. As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on the network to make sure services continue to meet customer demands."
The Bakerloop BL1 express bus operates between Waterloo station and Lewisham, running every 12 minutes during the day Monday to Saturday and every 15 minutes in evenings and on Sundays. Electric double-decker BL1 services run from 05:00 BST to 00:30, stopping at Elephant and Castle, New Cross Gate and Lewisham along the proposed Bakerloo Tube line extension route. All rides on the BL1 are free for the first week. The route forms part of the Superloop network to better connect outer London town centres and transport hubs. The Bakerloo line extension has not received central government funding and its trains are 53 years old. A standard fare of £1.75 will be payable from 6 October.
