On the contrary, that's exactly what you've been doing.


Simply not true, I repeated return here to pick up on any points raised.

But to speciffically answer your question here as to whether a trolleybus
alone is the magic bullet that solves traffic congestion

That wasn't the question. The question was, how will a trolleybus
reduce traffic congestion more than a similarly-sized diesel bus?

Let me spell it out again for you what I have said previously. Sticking a
couple of poles on the top of a bus and stringing up overhead wires obviously
won't make one ioata of difference to the congestion problems along the
Uxbridge Road assuming that was all that was done. Our proposals go much
deeply than that but clearly you are not interested in the detail. You can't
consider one aspect in isolation and then rubbish the entire concept. Clearly
you have a solution that you feel WILL work, so stop hiding behind a bush and
come out and tell us all what that is.
