Talk:Transport in London

ULTra

Although the ULTra system might be interesting I don't really think that it is relevant to the Transport in London page given that it is a personal transport system that is entirely internal to Heathrow Airport. The section is also written in rather bad English, but I decided that it probably wasn't worth fixing it if it isn't relevant and should be removed. Physdragon (talk) 15:28, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Overground

I propose that the section on London Overground be moved into commuter rail, as it is part of the national rail network (it is a member of the Association of Train Operating Companies) and is listed as a suburban system in it's own Wiki page. I also propose to remove the Ultra section as this is serves only Heathrow, and is not recognised by TfL.Williams119 (talk) 19:39, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Tramlink Integration into Underground System

In the Tramlink section it says "There are several extensions planned for the system, such as expanding its coverage and further integrating it into the Underground system." But what does (or should) this actually mean, "further integrating it into the Underground system"?

I'm asking, because I'm a German, a non-native speaker (although I do speak and understand English quite well). To me it reads like the Tramlink should in the future be part of the Underground or even be an Underground line itself. But I'm not sure whether this is what London really plans, as I also wonder, how this should be achieved? Will there one day run Tube Trains? Or will it even one day run underground (or on viaducts)? Thus my question: What does "further integrating it into the Underground system" mean?

Thanks in advance, Rafael --2001:4DD6:E2BF:0:105A:32A7:4C52:62C8 (talk) 21:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

At the moment, Underground and Tramlink are poorly connected (in a physical sense). The only place that is served by both is Wimbledon, but even though they use the same station, there is a sizeable gap between them: the four Underground platforms are on the north-western side, the single Tramlink platform is on the south-east, and between them are five National Rail platforms.

I'm guessing, but one way of improving integration would be to extend one or both to create more interchange points. For instance, if the Bakerloo line extension goes ahead (and it's not seen much progress in over seventy years) it might reach Hayes, in which case there would certainly be an interchange at Elmers End. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I understand. That does indeed make sense. Also I didn't know about the incongruous interchange/connection with the Tube at Wimbledon. So, what you say is that the Tram, like the DLR, in the End "complements the London Underground" (as stated in the Docklands Light Railway section)? The Tramlink a (direct) supplement to the Underground, like the DLR. I get that. Thanks. --2001:4DD7:8419:0:F1BA:7881:25FC:C2BE (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Amazing Standards

The London transport editors community have mighty high standards. This article is only a C class! Really?? Sarah777 (talk) 09:02, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

History

In the table "Management of London Transport 1933–2000" for the period 1970 to 1986 when London Country Bus Services Limited (LCBS) exercised control, the Organisation column states: "Green Line only". In fact, LCBS took over the whole of the Country Bus and Coach division of London Transport from 1970. This included all LT's country bus operations (route numbers in the 300, 400 and 800 series) as well as the Green Line coach services (route numbers in the 700 series). For historical accuracy, this should be amended accordingly. Haynesta (talk) 14:09, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
