An East Finchley councillor has called for the Superloop Bus SL10, an express bus service between North Finchley High Road and Harrow, to be extended to East Finchley station.

Cllr Arjun Mittra said: “The excellent new Superloop service would serve all the people of Finchley directly, if East Finchley could be included in the route.”

In response, Barnet Council has said it would take the proposal to TfL.

The Superloop service has proved to be popular since its launch last year – and Cllr Mitra is one of several politicians in the capital calling for it to be extended to cover additional areas.
