Stationlink was a brand of London Buses routes in Central London, connecting the main terminal stations with each other.
History
The service was launched in 1993 and replaced Carelink. In contrast to the Carelink service, Stationlink was open to all passengers and was included in the Travelcard scheme. Holders of Disabled Persons Railcard and Senior Railcard could use the service for free. The buses were designed to have space for luggage, wheelchairs and pushchairs.
The initial service operated in a clockwise direction only, calling at Paddington, Marylebone, Euston, St Pancras, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Fenchurch Street, London Bridge, Waterloo, Victoria and Victoria Coach Station.
From 29 June 1996 the clockwise route, now numbered SL1, was supplemented by the SL2 anti-clockwise service. The additional route doubled Stationlink service and was operated with low-floor Optare Excel buses described in the Evening Standard as 'roll-on, roll-off'.
