Except where the route crosses the North London Line.


Which is where ?
I thought the WL Tram scheme was supposed to
follow the alignt of the [26]07 bus approx
from SBG to Uxbridge. Where does this cross the NLL ?


A few hundred metres south of Acton Central.

Mind you, the NLL doesn't seem to interconnect with other
services pretty sensibly anyway. I've always thought there should be a
Northern Line station just underneath Camden Road NLL.


Too close to Camden Town. There used to be a station called South
Kentish Town between Camden Town and Kentish Town (somewhere near the
junction of Castle Road and Kentish Town Road IIRC), but that was closed
a long time ago.

Some alternative plans drawn up by Arup for the reconstruction of Camden
Town station included a possible underground link from the north end of
the High Barnet branch platforms to Camden Road station - it's not as
far as the walk along the surface.
