: SNIP A central London monorail system was proposed in the 1960s but soon abandoned. A key sticking point was the station infrastructure. A monorail may look slimline, but an elevated station certainly does not - you need platforms, stairs and lifts. The station shown on Euston Road in the video already makes the street look very enclosed - imagine what it would look like on a narrower typical street such as Regent St or Oxford Street. People already complain about the intrusiveness of tram overhead power lines - imagine the reaction to a two-track monorail down Oxford Street! SNIP I know the video has other parts of London such as Euston Road and various bridges with a MonoMetro, but as far as I know, the plan is just for a connection between Liverpool Street, Isle of Dogs and Stratford City, isn't it? So it shouldn't be too intrusive. |
