Riding The 34 Bus Between Arnos Grove Station And Walthamstow Bus Station

To continue on the route of the Superloop, I needed to get to North Walthamstow bus station, so I took a 34 bus from Arnos Grove station to Walthamstow bus station. I took these pictures.

Note.

1. The route was along the North Circular Road and then into Walthamstow from the Crooked Billet roundabout.
2. The North Circular Road was grade separated but quite congested.
3. The North Circular Road has a 40 mph speed limit.
4. There was only one station on the route; Silver Street, by the North Middlesex Hospital.
5. Walthamstow bus interchange is by Walthamstow Central station and has reasonable amounts of space.

The journey took about 67 minutes.

I have two thoughts.

The Route Of The Bus 34 Could Be Part Of The Superloop

I feel my journey today, proved that this would be part of a feasible Superloop leg between North Finchley and Walthamstow Central bus stations.

This Google Map shows the route between North Finchley bus station and Arnos Grove Underground station.

Note.

1. North Finchley bus station is shown by the red arrow!
2. Arnos Grove Underground station is shown by an Underground roundel in the North-East corner of the map.
3. The light yellow road at the East side of the map is the North Circular Road.

There would appear to be a road connecting North Finchley bus station and Arnos Grove Underground station, that runs across the top of the map.

The road passes to the North of New Southgate station, which could be one of the Northern termini of Crossrail 2.

This Google Map shows the North Middlesex University Hospital.

Note.

1. The North Circular Road running across the map.
2. The North Middlesex University Hospital in the South-West corner of the map.
3. The London Overground and Silver Street station in the East of the map.
4. There are several bus stops in the area.

This area could be turned into a comprehensive and very useful transport interchange.

Conclusion

The Superloop leg between North Finchley and Walthamstow Central bus stations has possibilities.
