Where will this tram be maintained? =A0How will it reach that location? If it is to reach Bletchley, it will have to be 25 kV Ac, or pulled by another motive power unit. My best guess is that these issues have been considered. Where will this tram be maintained? How will it reach that location? If it is to reach Bletchley, it will have to be 25 kV Ac, or pulled by another motive power unit. Are you mad? No they'd load it on to an Alley's low loader every night for the move to Bletchley depot. Come one now man, get a grip of yourself. We can't have rolling stock being moved from location to another by rail!! Its just not British! You missed an earler post which said that room for a depot had been identified at st Albans. However the official answer now is that this is up to the contractor to sort out. I would have throught that Watford or the former North Watford sidings, had beter potential depot space. -- Peter Lawrence |
