    I love Croydon! It's so amazing with the trams I love taking. And by the way, buses are also a reliable way but I think the Overground is the best service on the planet. Make more trams, TfL, I want your city to be very unique. Make tram stops in Central London.

      Comrade Charlotte they had double decker trams!?!?!??!?!?!?! That’s fucking awesome, nowadays theres fucking health and safety u have to pay like 30 quid for an open bus which used to be free and used daily

    • @grassytramtracks
      @grassytramtracks Год назад

      Articulated trams are far superior. Double decker models are largely a relic when trying to join different sections was more difficult. Articulated trams load and unload faster, don't have stairs to go up and down, and can carry more people (no standing on the top level), and are guided by the track anyway

    • @grassytramtracks
      @grassytramtracks Год назад

      ​​@@brokenbritain1930 it has nothing to do with health and safety (after all, we have double decker buses) and all to do with practicality, and the reason you have to pay more for open top buses is because they're only used for tourist buses. Why are they not used for regular bus runs? Because rain exists. The rain means that the bus will fill with water which will corrode the bus, and no one will want to ride on the top when it's cold or raining, which means that half the time no one will want to go up there

      That's because of the law. This is a light rail system and is governed by the Railway Inspectorate - they do put a lot of store by Health and Safety. Those who do not are generally either reckless, or simply not the people who have to take the responsibility when things go horribly wrong.
