There is a lot of traffic congestion along the 109 bus route, so there is a risk that a tram with on-street running would be a shambles. Thats why they were got rid of to begin with.I think that if any tube venture south, it will be the Northern Line that goes direct to Streatham. The Victoria Line seems to have been intended to go to Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. We won't see anything at all with Crossrail and ELX clogging up the planning process, as long as they sit there getting more and more bloated and ridiculous, nothing else will be done. As I said in a post some time ago, when you actually look at current and projected overcrowding, it now looks as though Chelsea-Hackney should be the biggest priority. Unfortunately, that seems to have been hijacked to become a grandiose and impossibly expensive scheme too. |
