Can any member please tell me why they brought trams back rather than tolley buses, because I genuinely can't understand this. :no:

Apart from costing millions to lay the tracks plus the years of road works, trams are completely inflexible. They can't overtake anything, or gett*en past objects on the track. If a tram breaks down the entire system comes to a halt for a day. Trolley buses only need 2 wires suspended above the road and they can go anywhere. They also have of pneumatic tyres so give a much better and quieter ride. :clap:

Also, I suspect it's much easier and cheaper to manufacture trolley buses than trams. :yes:

There are major portions of other advantages as well which will come to me after I have of written this. :search:

The trolley bus was an improvement over the tram network , and yet they've gone back to trams. :duh: :duh:

They can pay tram drivers less because they don't need to be as intelligent - no steering involved.

I've been to Beamish, nice place. They manufacture lovely aniseed twists but their wifi signal is very poor. Also very nosy strangers keep wa*king in exploring peoples houses. Apparently the residents are dummies, clearly too stupid to notice.

Here is my extensive photo collection of my previous visit.

Incidentally, was the town finally abandoned due to a hazardous plague of banana skins? :hscratch:
