Development proposals
On the 10th Anniversary of the opening of the National Rail Platforms
at West Brompton Station earlier this month, the Group issued proposals
for developments to services and facilities on the West London Line
up to 2019 to meet the rising levels of demand on the WLL, from the
north as well as from the south.
The Group believes that undertaking these improvements now will
allow the WLL to relieve pressures from the closing of platforms
at Blackfriars and London Bridge, the redevelopment of Victoria tube
station and other works at Euston. Moreover, a WLL/Crossrail interchange
at Old Oak would provide a one-change-avoiding-London facility for
travellers from Sussex, Gatwick, Surrey and South London - as well
as the West Midlands, the North West and Scotland - to reach Heathrow
Airport by rail, thereby both assisting the case and informing future
decisions for HS2.

Background to these proposals may be found in the Group’s
May 2008 publication, ‘West
London Line Developments 2008-2015’,
This lists key developments in the extended West London Line corridor
in chronological order, showing the continual growth in residential
populations in the WLL stations’ catchments and the generators
of other demands for WLL services

Letter to Secretary of State for Transport
This letter expresses the Group's concerns over the proposed cessation
of cross-Clapham services through: (i) unsatisfactory answers by the
Rail Minister to Parliamentary questions; (ii) the lack of support
from the DfT despite a 28% increase in passenger traffic in
18 months to November 2007;
(iii) heightened risk to passengers’ personal safety at Clapham Junction;
(iv) undermining of transport links for two West London venues for the
2012 Olympics;
(v) conflicts of Government and GLA Transport, Climate Change and Visitor
Policies; and (vi) a plea to retain the momentum to restore the service
to Milton Keynes. The letter has had wide circulation, as shown. It includes
also a table of new traffic generators in the West London corridor.

December 2008 Southern timetable proposals
A detailed response has been sent by the Group to Southern in
connection with the company's stakeholder consultation on their timetabling
proposals from December 2008. The group's response argues against the
proposed downgrading of the WLL services between key traffic generators
in this sub-regional corridor about to experience further employment
growth, alongside the need to promote—rather than impede—convenient
regional travel.

WLLG has submitted comments on the draft South London Rail Utilisation
Survey (RUS)
The detailed response to Network Rail as part of the South London
RUS Consultation, argues our case on many key topics: e.g. retention
of a regular Watford-Gatwick-Brighton service with ultimate extension
north to Birmingham, increased passenger demand and expanding business
developments including the impact of the Westfield regional shopping
centre development at Shepherd's Bush, importance of maintaining and
strengthening ease of access to Gatwick from the north and for access
to/from the West Coast main line by avoiding Central London, safety
concerns over Clapham Junction as the terminus for the WLL, etc.
