(I think it used to run along St Thomas Street before the closure anyway.) Tho' I'm sure many users of the present route will object!

Unless it crossed over the junction of Borough High Street onto Marshalsea Road, turned right onto Southwark Bridge Road and left at the junction onto Southwark Street. Like this - https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zWaP1I2TJf6U.ka-yBBda_tuM.
This would also avoid the crowded section of Borough High Street between St George The Martyr and London Bridge.
