My God, the witticisms roll on. Wow.

Thicko, look at the wiki on Capbuses I posted. Tolleybuses are old hat. They were dropped for good reason. If they were any good we would all be using them. But few do.

Capabuses have superseded trams and these contraptions you stupidly bark about.

[Doctor Drivel]

Thicko, it is toxic to the atmosphere.

[Doctor Drivel]

This is a panic measure. Leeds has an appalling transport network. No rapid-rail, etc. Expect the wires to be ripped down and SuperCap buss replace the dogs in the future.

Do you actually read any of the posts here?

This straw poll says you are wrong more than right. Which is no surprise given your track record of believing every single advert and loony idea - provided it agrees with yours.

You should go back to your treatment centre and demand a refund. It fails you every time.

[Tony Bryer]

Route 96, on which these trams run, is every six minutes at peak times.

[tim.....]

well that's relative isn't it.

The term is "rapid-transit", where in its basic form transit means Public Transport.

Compared with the bus Metrolink IS rapid

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. toxic [?t?ks?k] adj

1. of, relating to, or caused by a toxin or poison; poisonous
2. (Medicine / Pathology) harmful or deadly [from medical Latin toxicus, from Latin toxicum poison, from Greek toxikon (pharmakon) (poison) used on arrows, from toxon arrow]

(Definition 2) CO2 is harmful or deadly to most animal life when concentration in the breathing gas is excessive. Therefore, it is toxic. Admittedly, not as toxic as a lot of other gases, including carbon monoxide, but still toxic.

You are senile.

The wagon train is only as fast as the slowest wagon. The 5% choke spot means the services is poor.

There is a big difference between transit and rapid-transit. Merseyrail is rapid-transit, Metrolink is not. Manchester wanted an underground but could not afford it, so went for trams. Some parts of Metrolink are fine where it uses old rail lines and stations. Once off the fast segratgated lines it slows up on the streets, even on segregated track.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Oxygen is deadly to most animal life when in concentration too.

There's a difference between something not supporting life and being toxic

- even although the end result may be the same.

[Doctor Drivel]

Half the size then they can run every 3 minutes.

But running large trains during the day mean infrequent services. Some detach cars and run more frequent services.

If a rapid-transit urban railway has frequent services people use it

[Doctor Drivel]

This proves you are a k*****ad.

[Tim Streater]

A completely meaningless comment. And when you parse out meaningless content, drivel's comment reduces to being content free. Still, that's SOP for the k*****ad.

[Steve Firth]

Repeating drivel does not make it true.

[Steve Firth]

No, you are wrong. CO2 is not toxic. By your argument a pillow or a knife ate both toxic.

CO2 is an asphyxiant, remove it in time and the subject recovers. It has no long term metabic effect.

Relying upon a dictionary for medical knowledge, other than a medical dictionary, is fraught with problems. Not least that dictionary compilers have no knowledge of chemistry, toxicology or medicine.

Knobhead, Again, " it is toxic to the atmosphere".

[Doctor Drivel]

Knobhead, repeating what Doctor Drivel writes is very true.
