If you are going to have to erect OLE and lay a single rail, why not lay two and do the job properly? I am interested to hear that these Translohr vehicles cannot operate away from the rail; in my naïvety, I had assumed that this was their Unique Selling Point. Without this capability, what advantage do they offer over conventional light rail?Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473100169425813062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-47371173349894863332011-08-23T19:25:34.040+01:002011-08-23T19:25:34.040+01:00The classification of this system, the "Trans...The classification of this system, the "Translohr" made by Lohr Industrie in Straßburg, France, is difficult. Since it can not operate without the guiding rail I regard this to be a tram on rubber wheels, not a bus which would be steerable. The French call it "tramway sur pneus".<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />ChristophChristoph Heuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809620187730948122noreply@blogger.com
