- Another day... another #loopybus
It was early in the morning that I found myself in Thamesmead to experience the full journey on the brand-new Superloop route that is the SL3 from Thamesmead Town Centre to North Bromley Station. On this very cheerful and celebratory day in Southeast London, I was joined by @Denzelsworld, @GTransit, @JasonMaguireTFL, @BusesInPlumstead, @SouthLondonTransit, @DISCOPlayz and many other bus enthusiasts. No press turned up for this enthusiast-dominated event, but it was still fantastic.

Great video

London Bus Pal is my best friend❤
Awesome Superloop Video. Im Sure You Had A Great Time With The Other Bus Enthusiasts. Amazing Video
I actually think that having a Superloop is a great idea especially for people who want to travel between tube station and railway station in and around Greater London.
Absolutely 💯 pleasure to spend time with you all today
Thanks for an amazing day. God bless the bus community. You're all such a lovely bunch
Fantastic filming, see you soon guys ×××
now wait the last London superloop 4 by sl4 at next year
Nice video lovely meeting you
I have the London Bus Pal it works like a charm.
Same it's really really good
Amazing video
This video is just too brilliant
And thanks for introducing me to bus pal
3:36 there was an oyster pad but it got removed in 2020 to reduce fair evasion.
Lovely Video, It was a pleasure meeting you and you getting me in the video, the editing is on point,
Thanks
pleasure to meet you again today, too
Nice to meet you on SL3 and to experience something like SL7 and hope to see you again for the second time on SL2
#loopybus i love this video
Nicely done you cured my boredom,
Just wanted to say thanks! I really enjoy watching your content i really hope you do more buses
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh I actually saw you all on the bus back towards Thamesmead! Nice seeing this video up, and glad to come across this channel.
(I was on the first bus lol - I wouldn’t recommend it, it was very early and certainly much more lively later on in the day)
Nice one! I was also in this video at the end at Bromley North taking pictures for my Full Route Visual 😂 But keep up the good work! 👍
very interesting
Great Video!…
Not at all a bus enthusiast, but thoroughly enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
1:21 & 4:13 I'm on video :) Amazing one
I think they got rid of the oyster pads at the middle and rear door during covid because of the one way system
LT239, the bus you had Riku used to be in Pride livery, great video by the way!
Imagine if they turned the old route masters on number 15 and put a loopy bus livery on them. But probably not because they are preserved or something but It will be cool!
Great video as usual
Them SL3 buses look nice!
Nice one!😊
Great Video Riku! Was really nice meeting you today, had an awesome time out riding the Loopy Bus! 😁
Another day, another loopy bus 😂
@@muzz040And Discoplayz said that
Can't wait for the Silvertown Tunnel on last superloop X239 to SL4, I also agree that TfL should be able to get a first route '239' because it is the smallest uninteresting 200 range to express the idea of a variety of 'X239' serving Silvertown tunnel. 239 may have Upper Norwood - Lee Green via Beulah Hill, Church Road, Westow Street, Westow Hill, Crystal Palace Parade, Westwood Hill, Newlands Park, Lennard Road, Kings Hall Road, Bridge Road, Copers Cope Road, Southend Road, Beckenham Hill Road, Bromley Road, Bellingham Road, Hazelbank Road, Verdant Lane, South Circular Road and Burnt Ash Hill - New Bus stand Micheldever Road.
Great vid In 2025 new elctroliners are replacing the borris masters already 😂😂
3:37 They removed the oyster pads on the other doors years ago to stop people from sneaking on the bus without paying
Superloop SL3
Fun fact: The routemaster is not new being put in service in 2012 and will get withdrawn and is Hybrid so not new as the New ones are Electric and just got refurbished.
Thats all :)
What time will you be at walthamstow? We are hoping to get there for 10ish 11
Great video. This route was defo one of my favourites and had so much fun, and it was amazing meeting you all 😊
3:34
TfL removed these oyster pads due to people checking if the driver isn’t looking then quickly running upstairs (avoiding paying £1.50)
Hey riku. Nice video. The reason the middle and rear doors don't have oyster readers anymore is because they were removed in 2020 because of fare evading.
Thanks for the info!
The oyster pads have been removed on the LTs ages ago. You now need to enter the bus at the front
It's because TFL Revenue
@@TITTLDN2023 Yes because people were not paying. They used to have conductors in 2012 but they got removed bc tfl didn't want to pay for their jobs
Saw you guys earlier didn't realise until now you were all vloggers (you were on my bus and told me top deck was rammed)
X269 is the SL3. It parallels routes 269.
Im in the video ALOT just noticed
still problems with the frequency unfortunately, and the times are still behind schedule, but I really enjoy being in the new routemasters and less stops just makes the overall journey more pleasant than what I usually take for this route. An easy winner once these issues get ironed out
Goes without saying. A great video. Traffic was a big broken onnthe route during the day.
very true about the traffic
Lovely video It's a shame that they took away the Oyster cards from the back and middle of the bus
Where did you get your tripod from by the way?
its not brand new its cascaded from route 9 that RATP lost to metroline and also route 8
Maybe ride the SL5
There not brand new I used to drive them buses on the route 8
Is there USB charging
4:13 and 9:21 I'm in the video
hi
has the sl2 came out yet, and if it hasn't do yiu know when it will come?
it's coming on the 2nd of March- this Saturday!
@@rikufryderyk thank you!
Hello Riku! Could I be featured in your next video?
Was denzel there
Yeah
If it wasn't for KFC we wouldn't have seen you
Overall - not a bad video. There are some scenes which you may wish to consider removing however.
for example?
Wanna do a vid together soon
Riku are you doing sl2, i believe i will be
I won’t be there for opening day, but I will be checking it out a couple of weeks after.
also, just wanted to say that I never agreed to be a part of any series you were making

I will tell you how it was, if you want an insight, id recommend checking out the video on saturday, MY BDAY!
