Default Brompton Road to re-open?

Transport in London is so politicised (for better or worse) that interesting
the Mayor and the Assembly (or even Kensington & Chelsea council, though
local councils do not run LUL) is much more likely to lead to results than
lobbying LUL.

At the moment, my modest aim (as a local resident) is simply to sound out
how much interest there is in the possibility of re-opening Brompton Road
amongst local residents and traders. If there is enough interest to lobby
effectively for the project, a feasibilty study would have to be
commissioned. LUL did so for York Road, and came to rather negative
conclusions; see
http://www.kingscrossenvironment.com...road-tube.html but
supporters of the campaign to re-open York Road (such as Bill Perrin, who
writes on the King's Cross ennvironment blog) do not necessarily agree with
all the working assumptions.
