The Stratford to Barnet route would be painful long even as an express route! The Leytonstone route will basically be an express 66 which is not very express because of congestion on the A12. Stratford to Barnet seems way too ambitious, can’t imagine trying to operate that one. Needs to be two separate routes, nobody will do end to end on that one anyway.

Just as a general glance at these proposals: Yay for an X65. Wouldn’t be surprised if the current 65 gets split in two as a result though. The route between Thamesmead and North Greenwich to me looks very much like doom for the 472 - I cannot see that surviving a Superloop proposal. Looks like the SL5 is replacing the SL7 between Croydon and Sutton, which might help with reliability, but I think I’d have been more inclined to split the SL7 in two at Kingston and maybe then project the Heathrow to Kingston part southwards. Well done for spotting the small print, I guess we knew something would have to happen to the SL7 and as you say a split at Kingston would have been better. So single deckers on the SL5 between Croydon and Sutton?

The Richmond - Roehampton- Wimbledon route will be interesting, I doubt the 493 will survive intact.

Ealing Broadway - Hanger Lane - Brent Cross - Hendon would help to resolve the often discussed capacity issues with the single deckers on route 112. But the 112 will probably get a frequency reduction as that is a lot of duplication along the North Circular Road.

The Richmond - Roehampton- Wimbledon route will be interesting, I doubt the 493 will survive intact. You’re just highlighting the exact problem with these services. People still need reliable stopping services that connect to their homes. Not everyone lives in these town centres or will live within walking distance of these services. It would be wholly unfair to break a link that so many would need just because a faster option can be created. Here’s a novel idea, fix the issue that’s preventing that stopping service being faster.

In my opinion I think the Superloop route should divert via Wembley, rather than following the 112 all the way. So via the 483 from Ealing to Wembley Stadium, then the 182 to Neasden and 112 to Brent Cross?

Iv used the 93 recently and alongside Parkside there was a clear open road yet the bus had to crawl at 20mph. I can't see the purpose of an express route along there to the A3. Not to mention its probably the quietest bit of the 93 yet is getting potentially 5bph added to it between Wimbledon and The Green man yet the rest of the 93 is still mega busy but has no support proposed

We’d all best vote for Khan then and have kids carry on stabbing each other and Jewish people threatened with arrest for ‘being openly Jewish’ - London will be much better then……. Have you read Khan's plan to tackle crime? He's proposing to pump a lot of money into the youth system He’s had two terms - I’m sure the families of the numerous kids murdered on the streets under Khan’s watch are satisfied that he’s only now proposing to do something

What is Hall planning to do again? But it is kind of an indictment that his law and order policies have failed din his first two terms, and continuing the softly softly approach, I am sure we will regrettably continue to see you youths killed in mindless acts of violence. Hope you all ready for pay by mile in London ... it will come next term with Khan as Mayor.

The 493 will continue to serve Southfields Station and the entire area which I can’t imagine a double deck express bus wasting time in, and there are a large number of stops in between Richmond and Roehampton which the route can’t stop at.

What is Hall planning to do again? You do like giving Khan a free pass don’t you? He’s been in charge for two terms and knife crime has rocketed but it’s still the fault of the Conservatives? Can I just ask - do you have kids? Hall’s plans are out there, you don’t need me to spoon feed you But it is kind of an indictment that his law and order policies have failed din his first two terms, and continuing the softly softly approach, I am sure we will regrettably continue to see you youths killed in mindless acts of violence. Hope you all ready for pay by mile in London ... it will come next term with Khan as Mayor. Khan has ruled out pay per mile. The same way he ruled out extending ULEZ? Khan is a liar - a vote for Khan is a vote for some form of road charging. You are naive in the extreme if you think this isn’t Khan’s ultimate aim

Why should we believe Hall who is part of a party that's told even worse lies?

I've just looked on Google and found no manifesto, just a "plan" which essentially says little more than Khan bad, ULEZ bad, when we want to know what she'll do to take London forward. Meanwhile Sadiq has a 67 page manifesto of comprehensive form. It just screams of one candidate that has a plan, regardless of if you may have some healthy differences of opinion (& who isn't a Trump supporter) vs one with no plan who will even spin losing her OAP Freedom Pass into a conspiracy theory.
