The Newly Introduced Superloop Route SL2!

Todays video consists of some observations and a journey on the New Superloop Route SL2. The express route runs between North Woolwich and Walthamstow Central using Enviro400H Citys from the 133/333. The route is operated by Arriva and Run out of their Barking (DX) garage. Despite the HAs being at DX for a month, the destination blinds weren’t fitted nor were any Repainted. Only 4 were repainted, the buses are mentioned in the video. To make matters worse, not all drivers were type trained - meaning they weren’t allowed to drive the HAs buses - so a Wright Gemini 2 strayed on. Many speculated it was due to HA52 having a maintenance problem but that wasn’t the real reason. The SL2 buses might not have been prepared for its first day but the service wasn’t that bad. There were actually 2 curtails at around 11pm where the driver left half an hour late (he curtailed to High Road South Woodford and some other one to Barking). Anyways there was a lot of enthusiasts at North Woolwich when the DW was there. I didn’t see them, but there was around 32 according to some people lol. It’s a shame so many people caused havoc on my local but it’s not my problem that they weren’t raised properly. Anyways to sum it up, the SL2 is a very good useful route. However, it’s undertimed between Ilford and Barking which will cause a problem during rush hours. I recommend the Route and I hope you all enjoy the vid, along with the yap.
