Further to out thread of November last year
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/5301366.stm

Is there any further detail ?- I still unsure as to whether this is the
first installment of the West London scheme - then heading via Holland
park and Shepherd's Bush to Uxbridge or a link to the Cross River
Scheme or both. It does however seem eminently sensible. What has been
the response of the taxi driving community?


The best question is "where is the depot?". Unless the plan is to dig up
Hyde Park (unlikely) an isolated Oxford Street tramway with steel wheeled
cars doesn't work.

Could it share one with Cross River Transit? Then you'd just need a
connexion from TCR to Holborn or Russell Square, which isn't too far.
The TfL site doesn't expect CRT to be open till 2016, but the plan for
'trams by 2013' for Oxford St seems optimistic...
