West London Tram (and others)

One of the main arguments against the WLT is that it is widely thought that the trams will snarl up traffic even worse than it already is. However I haven't seen the argument that trams will actually help traffic flow much better. They should do, by encouraging motorists out of their cars. AIUI at least some of the complaints against the West London Tram relate to 'pinch ponts' on the route, where the road will be closed to all other traffic, which will be diverted on to a parallel residential street - naturally residents on those streets don't like the idea. Naturally. I have collated together the various arguments for and against the tram scheme along the Uxbridge Road at www.tfwl.org.uk - If you disagree with anything said there then you can respond either through the Guest Book, the Forum or an email link back to me from the site. David Bradley This site is an anti-tram site which instead promotes trolley buses. However, I have never seen how, as far as a passenger is concerned, a trolleybus can be any better than an ordinary bus. Trams have been shown to solve transport problems in ways that buses can't. This is because of their layout, being effectively a versatile train. A bus is a bus is a bus, no matter what its power source. Peter Fox |
