Best solution remain a tram line through Oxford Street and with new technology whereby trams can pick up power from beneath the road the need for overhead wires is removed !
Instead of wasting millions on DIESEL Borismasters London should be going back to the clean Trams and Trolley-buses which it used to have !
How much of this pollution comes from the empty taxis that Oxford Street gets clogged with ?
as for the taxis - an open question - they are clearly (or unclearly!) visible smog-polluters; i recall the @CleanAirLondon chap laying the blame with Boris, regarding the issue of who subsidises the Black Cabs being greened into zero-emission vehicles; ultimately, Londoners choose to use them, :-/
there is also the issue of whether the TFL 'Low Emissions Zone' could be more stringent, as despite its existence, London is still an Emissions Zone!!
quite liking these zero-emission Oxford Street transit suggestions from Anon.,

which town / city could London learn from?!
