Haven't you seen "The Londoner"? It gets delivered to my house, and
deposited in my Tube station once a month on a Saturday.

I never get it. And it's not deposited at either of my local train stations.

At mine, it goes directly from the doormat to the green box.

Once a month?! I though it was a 6th monthly publication :O (or similar)
Maybe the distributors daren't travel this far out? {ok, can't actually
think of a *decent* reason why I get the publication so infrequently.
weird.}

Door drops here (Ealing) are, to put it politely, intermittent.

The same used to be the case for free newspapers, but now they've
stopped coming altogether.

Is there a website, not run by either TfL or this pressure-group, that
gives a balanced list of the pros and cons of this and other projects?

Looking at everything - cost, disruption, environment, etc.?

I think when the congestion zone in West London comes into force next
month, people will be delighted with another zippy way to get around town
that doesn't involve paying £8, and the opposition will quickly dissipate.

Unlikely. The tram route stops just outside the extended charging zone,
and it's more likely that people will just be resentful of both schemes
(C-charge extension and the tram).

I'm not aware of any particularly balanced websites explicitly listing
pros and cons. It's probably quite difficult to do so too, as now that
most of the road closures have been dropped, the main point of
contention has switched to traffic modelling and whether a lot of
traffic will rat run or not - the problem being that because TfL do the
modelling, the opposition automatically distrusts the results if they
don't say what they want them to say.
