The area is as people have already said a very busy area which
econmically is doing very well. The 207 are jammed full most of the day.


Why replace it then? If they are jammed most of the day, then some more
busses might be in order.


There's a limit to how many buses per hour you can run on a route. The
same number of trams per hour carry far more people.


What is actually the limiting factor in how many buses you can run on
a route?

* How many buses you can spare.
* How many drivers you can spare.
* How quickly they can follow each other through bottlenecks.
