WCML classic service after HS2
In message
, 77002 writes Often wondered if there is an application for a streetcar/tram or electric/trolly bus that runs under wires where practical, but utilizes batteries for stretches where wires are not practical, or unsightly. Trollybus route 90 in Rome has been operating on such a system for the last 6 years (more recently joined by route 90D). Batteries are recharged while running on the wired sections, and the changeover is fairly well automated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTJYsIdZlTg -- Paul Terry |
