"....whatever excuse you want to make for what *is* ultimately street running."Excuse? Hardly. I was addressing the point that street running adds another variable to reliability - which, as most of the so-called street running is along private ROWs, is not really a valid concern as there is no other traffic to get in the tram's way, save for that at traffic light-controlled intersections. Yes. Excuse. The reliability issue is really a red herring, as it shouldn't occur if the traffic engineers have half a brain cell between them, which thankfully they seem to have. The real issue is that because of the on-street running, the lines into Piccadilly have essentially been condemned to have a poor service forever. |
