The proposed West London tram scheme stretches along the Uxbridge Road (A4020) from close to the M25 through to within a tube stop of Zone 1. The 20 km stretch of road passes through several town centres and areas of dense population such as Shepherd’s Bush, Acton, Ealing, Hanwell and Uxbridge. The construction of the tram and tramway is expected to last three and a half years and is projected to cost somewhere in the region of between £463 and £648 million.

In compiling its response, the Committee received a wide range of written responses, conducted a number of formal and informal meetings with local organisations, transport experts and TfL and went on site visits along the Uxbridge Road and to the tram network in Croydon.

The response closely examines the suitability of the Uxbridge Road and in particular the impact the tram would have on local traffic patterns, the viability of the business case and the potentially less expensive alternatives, such as the trolley bus. The report contains the Committee’s response and the evidence gathered in formulating it.
