I didn't live in London then, so it seems I've missed my chance to
travel on this optically guided bus route. I can't find any posts
mourning its passing, so am I right to assume the Railway Inspectorate
never approved the Alstom (!) guidance system and it ran unguided
until its end? I've found this news story:

Rumour was that the guided busway never opened because one of the Dome
sponsors was Tesco, and the route in question went straight past a
Sainsburys...Though that might be an urban myth.

As for the guided busway itself, it has now opened, as a conventional
non-guided route, though still buses only, served by routes 161, 472 and
486.
