I can’t say I’m a fan of it, I think it’s cop out rather then a true attempt to improve public transport around the Greater London area, but at least it’s something (unless it gets cancelled or only partially completed which is always something you shouldn’t count out with TFL)? Will you see yourself using it? What’s your thoughts?
Back when I was near Uxbridge, there was a proposal to install a tram line from Ux to Shepherds Bush. Would have been great for my commute and replace all the (then) stinky 207s and 607 Express busses. Sadly it got NIMBY’d away. This would have formed part of the superloop structure I believe.
Given the size of the superloop, something better than busses seems sensible. A super ring of trams?
I think trams would have been a better idea, or at the very least improve bus lanes so that traffic would be less of an issue.
I love trams
