man carry the load!. Though I have sometimes seen examples of
very good working, a pair of busses overtaking each other to
take alternate stops.


Pity the poor passengers who wanted to get off at the stops
"their" bus didn't stop at.

Pity the poor passenger who has to walk twice as far because his
bus stop has been abolished by the coming of the tram.


Why would that happen?


Because it's in the WLT plan. Tram stops will be further apart than the
current bus stops on the route (207) that the tram will replace.
