Tram lined up to link Camden with Brixton

03 November 2006
Father Rob Wickham is the vicar at St Mary The
Virgin Church on Eversholt Street, which is also likely to be affected.
He said: "I am particularly concerned about funerals when we are
carrying the coffin in or out - that is the most solemn moment and the
thought of trams running past sounds ridiculous to me."They will pass
primary schools, secondary schools and umpteen nurseries. We have had a
real focus on making the ward safe for children, and our work will be
ruined. The community is formed by people meeting on the pavements
outside the schools and they wouldn't be able to do that."

rest of ludicrous nonsensical ranting snipped

Are these people quite mad? Why is it worse for a tram to be going
past a funeral parlour than a bus? How on earth does a road with cars
on encourage people to chat on the pavements whilst a road with a tram
on prevents this?
