Royal Docks in the loop

Newham’s Royal Docks is one of the key stops in plans for a new limited-stop express bus service – the “Superloop” – which the Mayor of London hopes will provide rapid connections between outer London town centres. The Superloop, announced at the end of March, is part of a £6 million Greater London Authority investment in creating an orbital express bus service around the capital. The first services will start in North Finchley and in the second phase a Walthamstow – Royal Docks link will be added, providing a fast link between the two urban centres. The route plans will be rolled out in detail in the coming months as part of extensive consultation with local people.
