3) Link to an online petition:-

Also thewww.tbus.org.ukweb site and the Trolleybus for West Londonwww.tfwl.org.uksites.

Interesting site, particularly the criticisms of the proposed West
London Tram system.
In theory a great idea, which might take lots of car drivers off the
A40.
In practice the Uxbridge Road in Southall, Hanwell and Ealing Broadway
are too narrow, so a tramway would knock out all other forms of
transport.
Also, it's obviously vastly more expensive to lay a tram track.

Someone ought to do a similar proposal to revive a trolleybus system
along the Edgware Road (from Edgware to Marble Arch)
Dead straight (because the Romans built it) and flat for 10 miles.

Nobody in their right mind would use it to commute into London anymore
and there is a serious bottleneck before the Cricklewood Flyover in an
area in dire need of urban regeneration.
And how about a branch-line to Brent Cross?

A trolleybus system would take pressure of the A41 and the Northern
Line in the rush hours.
What could be better than that?

P.S. the nostalgia photos of 60's trolleybuses were great. I vote for
double deckers.
