TfL are proposing a new express Superloop bus route SL15 serving Forest Hill between Clapham Junction and Eltham.

As an express bus route, it'd only serve certain bus stops, so in Forest Hill it'd serve the Forest Hill Station bus stops in London Road, stop B where the 185 and 356 stop and Stop D outside The Capitol, the Kilmore Road stops in Stanstead Road and just outside FH at Lordship Lane/Wood Vale.

Due to the low rail bridge at Thurlow Park Road it'd be served by single decker buses only.

You can find out more information and reply to the consolation at https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/sl15-superloop

Thank you..I've responded to the survey.
great to have a new route though how useful this route will be for me personally is 'not really' but I'll be happy to see it happen.

Sounds like a great addition, hope the consultation passes without opposition and we gain an additional route connecting areas together, yes please. Anything that improves connections across SE London, yes please.

To add if you haven't read the consultation.

Buses will serve Eltham station and high street, Eltham Road (for interchange with the 122), Baring Road, Catford Lewisham Town Hall and the rail stations, then the Forest Hill stops mentioned, West Dulwich Station, Tulse Hill, Streatham Place (Streatham Hill), Clarence Avenue, Clapham South tube, Eccles Road (Clapham Common North Side) and Clapham Junction station.

Buses will be every 12 mins Mon-Sat with evenings and Sundays every 15 mins.

The bus will be an alternative to the existing Southern service to Clapham Junction and offer many more bus connections along the route. For example if you use the Northern line stations towards Morden, you can use the SL15 to Clapham South instead of using the 185 to Oval. You can also use the route to reach Herne Hill at Tulse Hill instead of going to East Dulwich for the 37.
