- 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.

ELT could be either diesel or trolley but they haven't released as
detailed a plan as for GWT yet.
