Not as straight as people think.

Rubbish. Part of it is even called "Shoot Up Hill".

An Edgware Road tram/trolley was considered by TfL (or whatever they were
called then) but ruled out, possibly because a lot of the road is quite
narrow.

Shoot Up Hill is a gross exaggeration, there are no woods in
Cricklewood, Swiss Cottage isn't in Switzerland and there's no a
circus in Picadilly

They probably ruled out an Edgware Rd Trolleybus because Tfl they were
too cash-strapped.

It's time Londoners regained control of their transport system and the
private bus companies were told to sling their hooks.

Reducing CO2 is the main advantage of an electric bus system, whether
a trolley or a tram.

BTW the clip below has had 250 hits sinced I posted it on YouTube:
