Superloop by night

Promo: Super(not)loops and the new Superloops

 

A discussion came about and I decided I'd edit the map.

More dawnting than it appeared.

Fictional: Bromley North with Superloop


and also fusing 354 with 138 so I reuse the very light blue color of SL5. Which has the byproduct of making two stand spaces at Bromley North.

 

It's been a while since I edited maps for fun, even if it's probably my 420th so far, still a passion of mine.

Fictional: Croydon, Night. Fantasy map.


If the network was slightly revised, a fantasy.

Fictional: A different Edmonton Green, a cooler reality?


Croydon town centre in 2022


Fictional: The 415 to Crystal Palace (not via 432)


The 160's reroute via Sandhurst Road and 284's extension to Grove Park done to address 124's crowding and unreliability problems.

 

In short:

Instead of fusing 415 with 432, merge 415 with 322 (kinda).

 

 

In long:

The reason for my above illustration is simply dwelling on the fact 124 was so crowded and troubled it required a successive amount of changes. The 450 had the same (going from every 20 to every 8 in the span of 16 so years). You'd be a little harder stretched to find a route that was restructured with a frequency decrease, then return to it's frequency and still be terrible.

The P13 was fixed and went through that, the 322 seemingly was fixed, but time has told us that was a thin ice that broke.
