Interesting. Thanks for posting the link.

Random thought after reading the consultation document... To solve the
Acton High Street bottleneck, why not send the trams along Churchfield Road
instead? As well as avoiding the High Street, this would give interchange
with the NLL at Acton Central. Then the trams could cut across the park to
rejoin the Uxbridge road further east.

Or is there some obvious reason why this isn't viable?

For those who are interested in that sort of thing: it looks to me as
if the consultation brochure uses New Johnston Book, with the curvy
sided diamonds, for text larger than 12 point. Can anyone confirm this?

A similar deviation was considered but rejected, mainly I think
because it would increase end to end time. It would not have crossed
the railway or the park, though.

Conflicting overhead wires.

The tram is expected to be about as fast as a medium-fit cyclist,
overall - 65 minutes for 13 miles.

Well spotted, Robin! Pasting from Acrobat Reader to Word reveals that
the page headings are in New Johnston Book Bold at 45pt. Although TfL's
"Desktop Publishing Standards" says that NJ Book was designed for 12pt
and below, and should not be used larger than this, it doesn't extend
the restriction to Book Bold, and the restriction isn't mentioned at all
in the TfL Corporate Publications Standards. So it seems that someone
has exploited a loophole.

Alternative bottleneck solution: cut-and-cover or elevate the tramway.
