I live in that area and agree - it can get congested if the horsey
army is on the clip-clop from Hyde Park out up Scrubs Lane, or if
something goes pear shaped in Acton but otherwise it is just not
congested.


Yes, the name of the road becomes Wood Lane after the junction of North
Pole Road (and not at the A40 which is where I always think of it
changing name). It is this stretch that won't be able to take the
capacity, particularly with the bus lane.

It is notable that Willesden Junction station, just outside the new
zone, is in Zone 3. The CG zone is generally zone 1. My proposed
extension would keep it primarily zone 1.
