The Mayor of London has unveiled plans for the “Superloop”, part of a £6 million investment in outer London bus services alongside the expansion of ultra-low emission zone.

The Superloop will draw together existing services, such as the X140 and X26 that serve Heathrow, with proposed new orbital routes linking town centres like Harrow and North Finchley, and North Finchley with Walthamstow.
