I love the fact that between Bromley and Croydon they must have been desperate to show some intermediate stop of significance so chose Bethlem Royal Hospital. All the other selected stops are sensible and are mostly busy interchanges.
Bethlem Royal Hospital is a secure mental hospital - the name is the root of 'Bedlam' - and I cannot believe it is a busy stop. It is not a well-known landmark. West Wickham High Street would have been a much more sensible choice.

So instead of out of date publicity, we now have future publicity, covered by small print at the bottom about consultations.
Just don't change between the 'real' SL8 and 'not real' SL9 at Hayes until 'the future'.
Not confusing at all.

All this Superloop content means that I’m humming a certain song by Chas n Dave & The Matchroom Mob far more than I have since 1986. I don’t understand though why the roundel colours aren’t red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black though….

If the second driver had been less "dawdly", catching the one in front (a Bad Thing) might have happened even sooner.

The Bethlem isn’t just a secure hospital.

And Bethlem also has staff who need to get to work.
Phil: I’m expecting “We’re all Super Loopy” to be the soundtrack if there is any television or radio advertising.

As I’m currently incapacitated I’m appreciative off the blog posts as I’ve not been able to ride the SL8 for myself yet. I like the timing of this post too - 06:07 🙂

Have the spider maps at stops been updated?

The spider map in the Superloop supershelter is fully up to date.

Andrew: It would be a massive disappointment if somebody from TfL wasn’t already on the phone to Chas n Dave’s people 😀

Yes, only a small part of the Bethlem is a secure unit and the site also hosts a museum, an art gallery and a weekly parkrun. However, it's still a bonkers decision to put it on the superloop map, especially as the main entrance is a fair walk away from the nearest superloop bus stop.
Going by the logic of the map only showing stations or hospitals the obvious location to show would have been Hayes station, unless the superloop is really going to take the direct route through Langley Park.

As someone who has previously run political campaigns I'm not surprised there's no one campaigning in the town centre. It's usually more productive knocking on the doors of residents in their homes and who you think may vote for you, than haranguing (or being harangued) by people who may or may not be able to vote in the town centre.

I'd be amazed if local issues decided this by-election anyway, as I’d expect the Boris factor will dominate the voting anyway, however good or bad the candidates are on the hustings.
