Fazer replied: They can run on track and road so the best of both worlds allowing them to switch between the two where land is available. Trams are 100 % stuck on expensive track. Tram systems like the one in Croydon are upto 10x more expensive over their life time. If a tram breaks down then the line is stuck. If a trolleybus breaks down it can be towed away. Cost and enviro benefits... I've used Trolleybuses in numerous cities in France Switzerland Germany and Hungary and they work very well. The technology is already in Europe for combined diesel electric Trolleybuses which offer a very flexible cost efficient transport solution. [en.wikipedia.org] And [www.tbus.org.uk] Thanks, fazer those documents are very interesting. I had the idea that Trolleybuses were outdated technology that died out in the early 60s. Clearly they are viable forms of urban transport. TG

  4. fazer, how are trolleybuses an improvement on normal buses? They will be as slow/fast as they are, because if there's a a jam then they stop. Trams are on rails which are nearly always separate from cars. So don't get delayed. This is my experience with the Croydon tramlink. Please explain.
