FULL ROUTE VISUAL - SL3 - Thamesmead to Bromley North (Express) - Stagecoach London LT130 (LTZ1130)

So here is my visual of the brand new SL3 bus route which has begun service today. I actually really enjoyed this route and it will be pretty useful for me in the future. It's basically an express version of the 269 except extended to Thamesmead, which is an interesting decision. South East London has always been poorly connected as train lines only go from east to west meaning that you have to use the slow bus to travel north or south. For reasons like this SL3 will be very helpful. Unfortunately this driver took the wrong way around Bexley and Sidcup resulting in serving the wrong stop at Sidcup station so the routing in this video isn't exactly how it should be lol. Also, apologies for the fog at the start of the visual but it clears later on so I hope you enjoy the visual!

SL3 and SL2 Are my two super close Routes in the superloop system

[@IlovecountryballsFan]

I live somewhere in southeast London that’s why

[@eastlancsesteem]

It’s good that Thamesmead is finally connected to the system.

[@TSEBG_OFFICAL]

Yeah

[@johnrafferty8087]

Need the DLR extension. Pretty much all routes in Woolwich extended and the Bakerloo and HS2 and a monorail. Or 2

[@johnrafferty8087]

And a Heliport. And a ferry terminal

[@eastlancsesteem]

@@johnrafferty8087 Monorail? Heliport? 😂

[@AndrewChapman]

Yes, would've been handy back when I used to live in Thamesmead.

[@jeremyrogers1247]

Interesting to see an NB4L on the streets of outer south east London. The only other daytime routes I can think of in south east London that use or have used them are the 12, 176 and 453.

[@popz5337]

21 as well

[@quesoo651]

The only difference is that sl3 doesnt go into central london

[@CPTrains]

So glad that this route exists, will make my way home cheaper as I won't have to rely on the trains! I see the driver stopped at the wrong place at Sidcup Station but hopefully that will be ironed out soon.

[@foIderiser]

Nice visual, I was expecting it to serve the clock tower when it announced but I kinda know why

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Thanks! I think the library is enough

[@CookieCft]

Really like the livery ngl

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Same!

[@londonbusexpertise]

Amazing SL3 Visual TBBG!!Definitely useful SL& a quicker route to Bexleyheath..

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Thanks! Agreed

[@LuperSoop69]

Bexley residents watching the SL3 completely bypass them whilst it can stop at the War Memorial: 💀
Nice visual nonetheless!!

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Yeah the driver got completely lost and resorted to following 269 lol, and thanks!

[@LuperSoop69]

@@TheBromleyBusGuy lmao

[@AndrewChapman]

Even though my parents and I moved away from London 14 years ago, I'm actually a bit jealous we didn't have this new SL3 bus route back when we lived in Thamesmead. Wouldn't have had to keep getting a 401 or B11 to Bexleyheath and then get a 269 from there to Bromley. And then back again.
0:51-1:05 Is the Abbey Wood Station stop the only one the SL3 stops at along Harrow Manorway or does it usually stop at the other 3 stops before then?

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

The station is the only stop over there since it's express

[@AndrewChapman]

@@TheBromleyBusGuy Okay thanks. So I guess I would had to have walked all the way along Harrow Manorway from Wolvercote Road, Hinksey Path (where I used to live) up to Abbey Wood Station if I'd still been living there now.

[@southeastlondontransport5859]

Excellent route

[@fabiovranes3168]

Justice For Thamesmead

[@nathanw9770]

Nice visual! Surprised the SL3 doesnt stop at Bexley village or Sidcup station, although I guess since it follows the 269 it doesn't really need to.

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Thanks, it is supposed to serve Sidcup Station, but the stop the driver stopped at was the wrong one, as he had taken the wrong way around Bexley

[@Matthewsbuses1997]

I don’t know why they had to use the new Routemaster instead of the much better sounding Stagecoach London Enviro400MMC 😒

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

NRMs are alot better

[@damiagunbiade]

They probably didn't have a choice. The LTs aren't too bad though.

[@iancuthbertson1533]

Good video, not sure if this went 'off route' at Sidcup as it missed out Sidcup Station stop?

[@TheBromleyBusGuy]

Thanks, yes it did go off the route

[@indigoray8637]

does it stop at all the stops or just the ones it did in this video pls?

[@damiagunbiade]

Ifs a limited stop service so it won't stop at every single bus stop on route. It will only stop at 14 bus stops between Thamesmead and Bromley North
