Supply and storage. Though there is one hydrogen bus route in london that
runs through southwark. Can't remember the number.
RV1, which has always been rather a test bed for TfL.
Wires don't necessarily "look like crap", in any case. Decorative
poles can be used to enhance the look.
There was an RV1 broken down on the Aldwych this morning, completely blocking half of the road.
Central London is constantly dug up and rebuilt with many bus route diversions.
A trolleybus wouldn't be able to divert along an unwired road.
They're also a nuisance when the pickup arm gets disconnected from the wires.
