Well, I couldn't care less about 200 clapped-out W class trams sitting at
Newport, but I would be wary of them "doing a Clem" and burning down say,
Malvern Depot or Preston Depot and using that as an excuse to shut down
half a dozen tram lines the way Clem did after Paddington Depot was
arsoned.
This 2015 "accessible" law looks like a fast way to shut the tramway
system. Not a single tram is accessible, thanks to the morons who
declined to produce the B2s as accessible. By 2015, only the Z1s will be
due for replacement. What's the betting on an order for 1000 buses in
2010?
