May 2008: The group's May 2008 newsletter is now online.

January 2008: The group has published a report putting forward the case for a light railway line at a planned development at Brent Cross. The group has created some maps which show that the rail line wouldn't require much new infrastructure but would serve many people's travel needs. The group suggests three possible routes for the rail line through the Brent Cross site. This geographically accurate map shows how the line could fit into the existing network and this historical map shows how parts of it briefly provided an orbital service in Victorian London.

The hope is that the Brent Cross Railway could mirror the success of the Docklands Light Railway, as shown in this video.
