TfL Vision of the Future map
Clive D. W. Feather wrote:
In article , Dave Arquati writes - Greenwich Waterfront line - interesting! Not so much a railway or tram as a "super-bus". Segregated alignments initially for bendy-buses, with allowance for later conversion to tram. Trolleybuses, not just bendy-buses. TfL view this as a "transit" network - superior to buses and almost as good as tram "Rapid Transit on Rubber Tyres" was the term being used at one point. The separate alignment, fixed infrastructure - overhead wires - and special vehicles were all designed to make it look more like tram/rail and less like bus. The same is true for East London Transit. GWT will use diesel buses. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/greenwich-transit/index.shtml ELT could be either diesel or trolley but they haven't released as detailed a plan as for GWT yet. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
