@@arthurerickson5162 thanks, how lovely of you to say so. It's much appreciated. And thanks for watching too 👍 Part 2 is now available here The London Superloop Day 2 | Croydon back to Finchley ruclips.net/video/zKMQDEijLdM/видео.html
Great video! I love trains and I'm new to your content, but I really like it! I used to live in Abbey Wood, and before that in Beckton, so many of the places you showed in this video are quite familiar to me. Thank you for giving me some nostalgia revisiting these places through your videos!
@@ElijahGeorgeAntony117 you are very welcome, and welcome to the channel. I hope there's a few more videos on here that you'll enjoy. Thanks for watching and enjoying this one. 👍
Super Loopy nuts are you guys! Great stuff, cheers. Glad you included the Major's time-lapsed ferry footage ... a great match for the weirdness of your tunnel experience! Looking forward to part 2.
Great trip, looking forward to Part 2! Nothing wrong with military planning - the '6P principle'. I believe the outfield of the cricket pitch used to be used for football and I'm sad I never got to referee there when the club were in a league I was refereeing on.
@@kevinellis8869 Yes. It would be great to play on that pitch. Turns out we were fairly close to the plan by the end, accepting someone forgot to factor in a lunch break! Mind you... things don't quite go to plan on SL7 in part 2...
Thank you Johnny for an another amazing video which had me on the edge of my seat, and often rolling about in laughter!. Very high quality filming. Hugely interesting because of the immense diversity in what we experienced.
@@stevecooksley i think the words about the Queen come after Ted Heath. Her pic is the one of her and her troops trampling all over the cricket pitch! Thanks so much for the kind words and yes, Richard has quite a lot of Cold War stories from his times...
Wouldn't miss Part 2! Can't wait. I want to do this same thing the next time I'm in London, whenever that is. But unless I'm with someone else I'm definitely taking the ferry rather than the tunnel. I'm still astonished by the foot tunnel.
Part 1 was well done as usual. Richard did a better job than I would have! :) We haven’t walked the tunnel under the Thames but are aware of it. It’s just too creepy. Lol. Maybe riding a bike thru would be okay but not on foot. Looking forward to Part 2.
@@sandiandgregh thanks. Richard was an excellent barger in chief. No way i would have ever got those front seats ! The tunnel is definitely not for everybody. I suspect if you did the trip as part of your daily commute it would just become normalised. But to us... very weird indeed.
Those foot tunnels are a bit weird - but fun too! Loved the video, thanks for posting. Us Londoners of a “certain age” enjoy the privileges of our Freedom Passes, buses, tube, surface rail all free after 9am…🤗🤗
@@andyml1 Yes my sister travels all over with her freedom pass. She likes to travel all over the TfL area. I'm pretty envious. Not sure she's been through the tunnels though. Thanks for watching 👍
That was very jolly, thank you, and the new presenter is delightful :) A bit remiss of you to lose the good Major on a bus though... Once again you packed so much into the video, such a variety which we both enjoyed. Oh, and especially loved the stained glass!
@@ampersand. i know. Terrible to have lost the Major in the bus. I kept him a bit closer after that 🤣 I'm sure Richard will be very pleased with "delightful" 😉
Thanks for a really good look at the Superloop. And looking forward to Part 2. Normally the new Routemasters are quite nice buses though. Can’t say I have noticed many rattles or poor ride quality.
Lovely video. I use the SL5 quite a bit between Croydon and Bromley. As you saw it is a single decker, because part of the route follows a section of protected trees.
I wonder if - being single deck - it actually loads and unloads more quickly that the double-deckers on the other SL routes. I know TfL wouldn't do it, as staff costs would go up, but I think that if they doubled the Superloop service generally but ran single-deckers, the buses would run significantly faster, and a lot more people would use them.
@@ricktownend9144 it is a pity is not a double decker service, but they have no choice due to the protected trees, The service runs every 10 mins during the day and every 15 mins at other times. It usually takes 20 to 35 minutes Croydon to Bromley North. The normal bus takes over an hour.
@@HonarySpock thanks for the kind words. Interesting that the single decker is due to the trees. If asked, I'd have guessed a low bridge. Thanks to for watching 👍
@@tsungiraichiramba I think if you look back at the video, the sign on the road says Dartford Crossing? Either way, thanks for the kind words and also thanks for watching 👍
Enjoyed that greatly - a little bit of everything in that video. Thank you. PS - NFL season starting - will you be making a travel video of a visit to a Patriots game this season? 🙂
@@PeteG143 thanks! It was fun to make, so I'm pleased it was fun to watch. I have tickets for NE/JAX at Wembley. But won't be risking carrying a gopro through security! Part 2 is out on Friday
@@GodAtum a lot slower... if you can handle over a hundred steps at each end. Given that the bus actually pulls up right at the tunnel entrance, i reckon i could have easily crossed three times in the time it would take me to take the ferry. Thanks for watching 👍
It's not a complete circle so shouldn't be called a loop, maybe they should link it by using the ferry so the passengers don't have to walk. If TfL wanted to make it fast they could use the Dartford Crossing, the M25 is also not a complete circle, the crossing not Motorway.
@@tonys1636 well yes. Maybe we should allow them the latitude of that. After all "Superloop" is a good marketing term, even if it isn't quite a loop. Tbh most riders won't care as free will be interested in the whole loop anyway. But it is a shame there isn't something to meet you at the South shore... but that's just me being nerdy. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoy part 2 when it comes out on Friday. 👍

@@phronsiekeys part 2 out on Friday. The foot tunnel really is something else. Worth doing... maybe once...
Saw you pass the yet-to-open stop far- from-but-for Gallions Reach Retail Park (there was a stripey backed Van there)🎩
@@neilmcdonald9164 haha i remember that Van- looked like the guy was doing maintenance on the stop 👍
Lovely video on the Super Loop, had used the Woolwich Foot Tunnel once myself and found it quirky and weird, looking forward to the other video
@@Sim0nTrains Yes, I'm pleased i went down the tunnel. But it is definitely weird. Much quicker than the ferry though!

@@garrygreen3210 no worries. Thanks for watching along 👍
Superloop is such a brilliant idea. I tried some of the services and indeed they are good, apart that at times London's traffic can also hinder them
Yes. The buses are always open to being delayed wrt traffic. But we had a pretty decent run of luck. At least on day 1 !
Thanks so much for watching 👍
