Plans for a tram route in north-east London have stalled primarily due to a lack of funding, as revealed by the local council. No further research has been commissioned into the tram study, with officials noting the need for financial resources to assess options and develop a strategic outline. They anticipate possible funding from Section 106 agreements linked to new developments in the area. While the ongoing financial struggles are echoed across local authorities, council spokespeople express optimism about new transport initiatives like the Superloop express bus connection and progress on Beam Park station to enhance connectivity.
A council spokeswoman stated that they have not commissioned further phases of the tram study due to a lack of finances but hope for funding through developments.
The council has been lobbying for greater infrastructure investment and is pleased about TfL's consultation on a new express bus connection in the borough.
