I make that a trolleybus every 33 seconds? How were they supposed to
make it across the Euston Road traffic lights without bunching badly?
And that's the only non-transit-priority junction on the route...
imagine the chaos caused to other road traffic.



It can't be any worse than Oxford Street. I had to go to the British Museum
the other evening, and there was a solid tail-back of double-deckers between
traffic lights on New Oxford Street. Very few passengers on board, of
course. It's self-defeating.


I took the 10 from Palace Gate to King's Cross the other day... it's
about 15 minutes to Marble Arch - but an hour all the way to King's Cross.
