January 2010: The group has published its January newsletter.
The London group has campaigned for orbital transport improvements, including across outer north London. This video (made entirely independently) will therefore be of interest:
London group's newsletters
Oxford Circus
The Group is campaigning to make Oxford Street more friendly for all users of the road. Some reduction in bus services along the street, to reduce congestion, are currently being made by TfL, while a new London Assembly report recommends more thorough rerouting of bus services.
North and West London Light Railway
A major focus for the group has been a planned development at Brent Cross, and the group's idea for a new light railway line. The hope is that the North and West London Light Railway (previously called the Brent Cross Railway) could mirror the success of the Docklands Light Railway, as shown in this video. A summary of the railway is available on Wikipedia. The group is a member of the Coalition for a Sustainable Brent Cross Cricklewood Development.
