Thanks for the video 😊 Maybe would've been helpful to have a clearer view of the luggage rack as that would be what airport travellers would use Do you know if travellers can push a trolley from the airport to the bus stop?
i honestly don’t know.. I’m not good on routes in south west London - especially the SL7. and no, im not giving a clearer view of the luggage rack. this is a *full route visual* and not a review of route SL7.
it was done to have space for luggage racks when these things entered service on X26 (now SL7) in 2017. more of these came in 2023 but have 2 doors but have luggage racks at the back of the bus when the route was renumbered to SL7. quite a significant amount of double decker buses that aren’t contracted to TfL have 1 door.
the luggage racks are big enough to fit luggage and other personal belongings. most buses on the SL7 have luggage racks, the rest of them are to have them installed.
It is just an un-necessary re-branding, and frequency increase of the X26 route which has existed since 2005. The downside is that wha Khan didn't tell you is they are reducing the frequency of the 285 and 213 bus routes at the same time and reducing the running time so it is nearly always late or you get 2 or 3 buses running together, whilst other just seem to be cut. At least when it was half hourly it generally ran to time. I use it and it is a big dis-improvement.
213 from Kingston Fairfield Bus Station to Sutton Bus Garage and then get another 213 in the opposite direction to Sutton Police Station. get off there and wait for a 407 bound for Caterham. get that and get off at West Croydon Bus Station. hope this helps.

a double-decker with 1 door? Intresting...

Are the luggage racks big enough to fit a hold/checked baggage? And are the luggage racks on all SL7 buses ?

agreed, but it does speed up journey times for Superloop routes
Which is stopping service from Kingston to west Croydon?
213 from Kingston Fairfield Bus Station to Sutton Bus Garage and then get another 213 in the opposite direction to Sutton Police Station. get off there and wait for a 407 bound for Caterham. get that and get off at West Croydon Bus Station.
