A similar thing happened with the "Anglia" experiment to Basingstoke. Nice
idea, but absolutely lousy pathing and much too slow to attract any
significant custom.


If you think that was bad, try Basingstoke to York. Not only did it
take forever, but the one time when I didn't book in advance, I found
that it would be cheaper to use a taxi.
