Default Do we need cross-river trams? (Long appendix)

Actually, a grade separated travelator route from Waterloo Station to Euston
Station could be achieved with merely 5 short subways, and the appropriation
of the Kingsway Tram Subway. Some roads would have to be narrowed, but the
tram scheme also requires that. I can't comment on how this would affect
access to properties, though.


Look up, not down!

You could route it above the pavements with bridges across the road
junctions, and across the river. Escalators up to travelator level.


Highly popular with first-floor residents, I should imagine. It would
ruin the streetscape if it were above street level.
