No Sir, facts that were borne out in Vancouver who have sensibly opted

found on numerous forecourts but the refuelling plant proposed for
Hornchurch was refused planning permission, citing safety reasons, by
the London borough of Having. A fact you could look up.

Are you claiming that because Havering denied planning permission
there must be a danger? Same as mobile phone masts, and GM crops?

Look, I don;t know if you're right or not about the advantages of fuel
cell buses, but mentioning planning permissions makes no difference to
your case.

I wasn't aware that I was on trail, I though it was the introduction
and long term viability of Fuel Cell buses for London. The vehicles
on board fuel capacity is limited and therefore require more frequent
refilling than a diesel bus. To have facilities close to operations
must be desirable, so planning difficulties is a major issue even if
you wish to lightly dismiss this 'problem'.

The case I am presenting is straightforward, putting trolleybuses to
work on Route 25 would give more enviromental, sustainable benefits at
a lower cost than a Fuel Cell bus ever could. Open and shut case.
