The West London Line Group (WLLG) was set up in
November 2004, to represent rail passengers and other organisations
interested in the use of stations along the West London Line corridor.
The Group’s primary aim is to seek a credible, robust and passenger-friendly
set of rail services on the West London Line.

incomplete answers to Parliamentary questions, the 28% increase
in passenger traffic in 18 months, conflicts of Government
policies, the undermining of passenger safety and potentials
for non-compliance with Disability Discimination primary
legislation, and the undermining of transport links for the
West london venues for the 2012 Olympics]. The Group has
