Could London’s bus Superloop help beat train strikes?

Listen on

Episode notes

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.
