FRV | Go-Ahead London Route SL7 - Heathrow Airport to West Croydon - (WVL335, LX59 DDN)

#fortheloveofbuses
quite a nice route, runs via Hatton Cross, Teddington, Kingston upon Thames, New Malden, Worcester Park, North Cheam, Cheam, Sutton, Carshalton, Wallington Green and East Croydon, which are quite good places for the route, even though it is SO. DAMN. LONG.
enjoy!

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?

[@thenorthlondonbusguy]

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.

[@Beafybrian]

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

[@thenorthlondonbusguy]

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.

[@thenorthlondonbusguy]

agreed, but it does speed up journey times for Superloop routes

Which is stopping service from Kingston to west Croydon?

[@thenorthlondonbusguy]

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.
