Re: TAN - London Soho and Oxford Street?

Not quite correct. George Francis Train's tramway ran from Marble Arch west to Porchester Terrace, Bayswater - about one mile. See
https://www.hydeparknow.uk/2017/02/25/bayswater-1861-tram/

Train had plans to extend east at least as far as Tyburn - which I thought was where the Marble Arch is. This would have been the
Oxford Street Line.

He also operated the Victoria Street Tramway, roughly from Victoria Station to Westminster, I think, about one mile. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_London

The later tramway to Victoria ran along Vauxhall Bridge Road, not the same alignment as Train's Tramway.
