Default Trams

CRT mentioned 80 (!) trolleybuses per hour over the central section
at peak periods, as opposed to 40 trams.

Um, when I went to a presentation by a man from TfL, it was 110
(!!) trolleybuses rather than 40 trams. That's just not workable.

I make that a trolleybus every 33 seconds? How were they supposed to
make it across the Euston Road traffic lights without bunching badly?


Which is why TfL weren't considering trolleybuses for Cross-River - it
was trams all the way.
