Buses were nice. The only issue I have is with the route. A lot of the other routes will stay long term but being local this route is not needed. Nobody from Thamesmead is going to go to Bromley. They go to Bexleyheath or Woolwich and there are multiple route choices already. Getting off a 269 at Sidcup and on to a SL3 we never caught up with the 269 so it is not faster. It didn’t feel fast to ride on it but there are a lot of road works all the way along to get through. After the enthusiasts have had a ride on it this will not bring much custom. It is just politics. Observing the SL5 for the first time on Saturday 24th Feb myself early morning and through the day though that route seems to be well used and it should succeed. I will try that route another day as I like going to Croydon and a quicker journey avoiding the congested West Wickham will be applauded.
I respect you for being so dedicated you woke up at like 4 in the morning and recorded this.

Bromley now has a double decker superloop route. 👍🏾
Nice to see Routemaster buses in Bromley
Yup I made the first one as well! I’ve got to say - the driver was very friendly!
Nice NRM SL3 Journey TBBG!These windows were misty as hell to film but it's hard to decide (TB) Allocation is better RM or E400 mmc.
Thanks! I'd say the NRMs are better
Wonderful route this is, the Routemasters are ACC super cool on SL3
100% agreed
I was on that same routemaster but i was upstairs mate and i got LTZ 1120 At 7 in the morning
And I saw someone have dash cam at the front of bus for full Journey
Is TFL going to give us a consultation, so we can vote for a Bromley extension of the SL4?
I don't know
Bruh I must of saw you but didn’t recognise you I was on that bus as well the whole journey did you see a lady and a boy because that was me 🤯🤩
Love the route but.. the fleet allocation for it is horrible. Would've been so much better with their E400 MMCs
Prefer the LTs honestly
