[edit] History
The conversion of route 207 to articulated buses resulted in the route no longer being able to serve Uxbridge, due to tight turns in the town centre, so the route was split into two sections on 9 April 2005 - the western end between Uxbridge and Acton was renumbered 427, running from Acton garage using TNL class Tridents cascaded from route 207. Express Route 607 provides a limited stop alternative to the 427, running from Uxbridge beyond Acton to Shepherds Bush.
TfL are proposing to build a tram between Shepherds Bush and Uxbridge, running along the Uxbridge Road through Acton, Ealing, Hanwell, Southall and Hayes End. The West London Tram would run along the current routes 207, 427 and 607, replacing them. Trams would be able to carry more passengers and TfL claim a more reliable service, but there is considerable opposition to the scheme in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hillingdon [1].
