    How is the DLR set up for the day?

    My assumption would be is that at some point they would be programmed with their route(s) for the day, but then there are other aspects like bringing sets of cars together etc. What happens?

    Metrocar updates and withdrawals - Tyne & Wear Metro

    I was volunteering in a medical capacity and the weather this afternoon was atrocious. I would say close to hurricane like downpours. It was something to see! We had two or three extremely heavy downpours within a four hour period Anne with the weather that we have just had there was absolutely...

    Random question - noticed ‘shorts’ being referred to a few times on Twitter. What are they?

    Leeds Trams. Again.

    My concern with Leeds (as someone unfortunate enough to life there) is that this is going to be more money investigating whether a tram is sensible and that’s it. No actual funding of an improved/created transit system, just ‘check and see’ and pay lip service. We gave you money, it wasn’t...

    Leeds Trams. Again.

    I mean, speak for yourself…

    Should Leeds should bring back trams?

    As previously said, the big issue is timing. Leeds needs something 'now', not later. There are buses out towards Wetherby that are late at least 15min+, more so on inner city routes. The benefit being on an inner city route is your bus may be late, but they are more frequent so less waiting. I...

    What does Leeds need in addition to buses?

    More frequent services, particularly on some hourly services that always seem to be rammed. More connectivity between the hospitals, failing that, a larger centralised hospital where all the specialities are based on one site instead of over two sites. If anyone believes comorbidities only...

    Trams, signalling and working

    So I'm on the Metrolink and I see the signalling row of lights and the like, but a few times we've been bumper to bumper to a tram in front. I take it trans work via line of sight? Why the use of signalling if the latter is true? I understand the need when working in towns and running on road...

    Sheffield/Rotherham Tram-Train update

    Any information on the rolling stock to be used for such services?

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    Judging by your previous comments, I do feel the need to point out that were there less people who think the way you do, then no-one would think your uncle a free-loader. Disabled people as well as the elderly pay their taxes as well you know. They may get free travel but they aren't exempt...

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    What do you think is the better sounding 'gist of the report'? 'Tram does what it does and takes people across city' Or 'Tram finally taking passengers but it was delayed and hugely over budget' There's more news to be had from the latter I'm afraid. --- old post above --- --- new...

    Fears over safety of guided busway

    Well, there haven't been any problems with any of the Guided Bus systems in Leeds... One thing thats happened in Edinburgh doesn't mean people should be opposed by it

    Leeds Supertram

    Oh, there's also plans for a possible trolleybus system to return to leeds as well, as an alternative to Supertram. http://www.wymetro.com/NR/rdonlyres/41A2FE53-6ECF-48C6-9D0C-E179B074E881/0/Directions6.pdf --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Why are you saying all this AFTER...

    Leeds Supertram

    Erm, actually - yes it does. It was an idea to be used INSTEAD of the Supertram Project, as announced by metro a few years ago. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- http://www.wymetro.com/News/08/080318-1.htm *As well as increasing capacity, their reduced running costs could provide...

    Leeds Supertram

    Wouldn't surprise me in the least. You know what the DFT and Government are like though... It'll never happen!! And I don't understand... Why the Penistone line?? Where there's like a service every so often?

    Leeds Supertram

    I thought it was already being trialled on the Penistone line though?? Or at least announced it would take place on the Penistone line

    Leeds Supertram

    They are trying something like that on the Penistone line. And if it works, they're going to try and introduce such services onto the Leeds - York Via Harrogate line as well. They're going to be like, diesel trams or something like...
