It wasn't really used in a real life conditions though. I don't mind a bit of headline grabbing but at least tell the truth. A bus, by it's nature, needs to carry people. It needs to speed up and slow down and it needs to be driven by a homicidal maniac not a calm professional driver going at a constant slow speed.

To be fair to them I think they estimate 350 miles in real driving, likely depends how many cyclists are stuck in the wheels, and the average London bus does around 100 miles a day so it's more than possible to use these which would be fantastic progress.

If we can now find a way to charge it using the farts of passengers we'll have free public transport!
Nice. Well done for your strong entry into prick of the week. rolleyes

So we've gone full circle.

Come back trolley bus and tram ??
They're just putting a load of new tram routes in central Manchester, which did make me smile. Round and round we go...
Well....they've been doing it for 20years....

And a lot of the routes are using old railway lines

Were you particularly grumpy this morning or is being miserable not time related for you?
Not in the slightest. Just saw a 'joke' about buses running cyclists over as a bit of a move. HTH.
