If this is the case, I assume (again if that picture is anything to go

double-decker buses etc going to avoid the wires (and electrocuting the
passengers! ouch!)

I can't see it myself.


Then you've never been to Manchester, have you? Or Birmingham, or
Sheffield, or Nottingham, or Blackpool, or... well, you get the idea.

And never mind the newer systems - double-decker buses and trams
coexisted perfectly well throughout the first half of the twentieth
century. It's a non-issue.
