a new way forward?



This is a video of the new line in Clermont-Ferrand, France. This is a sort of monorail tramway, with the trams being guided on a single rail, taking power from overhead cables, and running on tyres. It may well be that this is a far cheaper way of introducing tram type vehicles in smaller towns, and it will be interesting to see if this system develops elsewhere.




As if to prove there's nothing new under the sun check this site out!
