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.

That has not been my experience in similar circumstances elsewhere on
the Piccadilly Line. The politicians can facilitate discussions about
such proposals, but the cost-benefit balance has to be right before you
get a result.
