Which trolleybus systems have automated systems which restore booms after

thinking of dewirements I observed in London and later in Brazil.

Given the state of image recognition software these days I image having a
camera that can spot the wires and then align the booms up with them would be
entirely possible.

Or just keep trying blind until the power comes back on. It wouldn't
take so long or be needed so often to be worth putting in extra
intelligence.

Does any city put Regent-Street-style Christmas decorations over
tram/trolley wires?

Perhaps not as elaborate as Regent St, suspended Christmas lights above
Bahnhofstrasse are a feature of the Zürich decorations, and Bahnhofstrasse
has pretty intensive tram service along its length.
