Indeed, on the Hounslow route the LSWR lost 76% of its passenger traffic to the tram network.<br /><br />I am not sure to what extent the London Underground network was a major concern. Indeed, the LSWR was on amicable terms with the District Railway, even paying for the installation of electrical equipment on the routes to Richmond and Wimbledon. I am not saying it did not affect the LSWR's fortunes, but it is just never mentioned in the company's files in such a way.<br /><br />However, what I would say is that the company's management class, particularly in the institutionalised Traffic Department, did lack innovation and a sense of forward thinking. Indeed, many of the company's responses to the tram threat between 1900 and 1911 were simply re-hashes of old ideas, such as timetable and ticket alterations, steam railcars, and improved carriages. Electrification is talked about as early as 1902 within the Engineering Department, but within Traffic Department, which was highly influential over the company's overall policy, it is seemingly rejected because of a high degree of conservatism and a lack of forward thinking.David Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017077771376316618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471329571766916686.post-13995418564702255172012-11-27T15:05:48.961+00:002012-11-27T15:05:48.961+00:00Wasn't the biggest challenge/s to LSWR (passen...Wasn't the biggest challenge/s to LSWR (passenger) traffic receipts in the early 1900s the rapid growth of (cheap) electric trams (LUT) , and the rise of the adjoining underground group railway networks. Something that was not addressed until the electrification of its own London suburban routes. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
