West London Tram Proposal

Major snip Seems to me like some of the people involved in transport planning need to look up the definition of "rapid" in the dictionary. Trolleybuses may be many things but rapid isn't one of them. B2003 What are your experiences which back up that statement ? The old London trolleybuses were very quick indeed with extremely rapid acceleration and if outright speed had been a factor in their design I don't see why they shouldn't have been fast too. Baz I was thinking more about the fact that like ordinary buses they get stuck in traffic. But talking about shear speed they may have good acceleration but most of the the old ones topped out at about 40 or 50mph and would probably have dewired before they got to that speed anyway. Given that trolleybuses are primarily an urban vehicle how high a speed would expect them to reach? Well if they don't go fast then they're not "rapid" are they which was the whole point of this mini thread. I assume you know the meaning of the word. Strange that I've never hear shearing force refered to as speed before. It's always been phrased in terms of the pressure required. You should be a stand up, you'd have them rolling in the aisles. If you're going to play spot the typo I suggest you look to your own posts first, they're not exactly going to win any english prizes. I'm beginning to understnad. |
