The Cross River Tram is a proposed tram service that - with luck - will whisk connect Brixton residents to Camden Town and King's Cross via Euston and Waterloo, with a south London branch to Peckham.

As part of their public consultation process, Transport for London (TfL), in partnership with Lambeth Council and the Cross River Partnership held an event in Brixton, featuring a full size model of a tram carriage.

We went along for a look. We'd love to see Brixton back on the tram network.


The scene in Tate Gardens. It wasn't exactly packed, but then holding the event on Cup Final day perhaps wasn't the greatest idea.

The tram mock up. Can we have the real one now, please?






Inside the tram.


I'm not quite sure of the connection between these curiously dressed people and the tram, but I guess the kids liked the free balloons.

Drummers doing their thing.
