Operationally converting the branch to be a Central Line extension

justified?

Adrian.



How about there being NO tube or rail service between Greenford and
West Ealing whatsoever...it could become a branch of the West London
tram! Trams from Shepherds Bush run to West Ealing, and connect to the
current GW Greenford branch via a new flyover west of the station. More
people would use this as there would be more than 2 trams an hour
making it quicker than using the bus or the central line service via
North Acton.

Hey, I suggested that first :-P

Actually LT suggested investigating the possibility of an intermediate
mode on the Greenford branch in 1995 but John Rowland said it was
rejected for the West London Tram project.
