The group has been motivated in particular by responding to consultations in a pro-active way and thereby promoting the need for Streatham transport infrastructure improvements:
• Crossrail 2 has been a great example of this, where SAT Group lobbied its management at the point when the project was out for consultation relating to its route to the south of Victoria. At this point, it was open to debate as to whether the route map should travel through Tooting Broadway, or alternatively Balham, on its way to Wimbledon. (See map below)
• SAT Group’s proactivity became even more ambitious when it sought to promote the idea of a Crossrail 2 spur line coming off the main route from Victoria, via Clapham Junction, Streatham and Croydon, on the way to Gatwick.
• In a similar way to proposals made on Crossrail 2 above, during the very first consultation response, with regard to TfL consulting upon the Bakerloo Line extension, SAT Group gave its support to a dog-leg route option via Camberwell and Peckham Rye. The thinking behind this was that this would then bode well for Streatham subsequently to make a strong case of its own for a “Herne Hill and Streatham loop” extension to the Victoria Line. This had first been mooted 8 years previously.
