    The Aston Martin buggy was obviously written by some one who doesn't have kids, 2k isn't that expensive...

    The trains on the Paris Metro have pneumatic tyres.

    The trains on the Paris Metro have pneumatic tyres.

    As do the French-designed Montreal Metro cars.

    They have concrete "rails" on which the rubber tyres run, as well as steel guide-rails that act to guide and steer the bogie.

    Very noisy! Not sure how they handle a flat tyre.

    I reckon only the first of Chdot's original three postings are actually April Fools.

    Is that a wee April Fool he played on us?

    Do I win a prize? :-D

    A bit like a guided bus way? Maybe we should have installed one of them instead of a tram network.

    As I'm sure you know, the tram replaced the guided busway along Broomhouse.

    Too cheap and uniconic.

    Yeah, in my dark days I used the 22 every day. The bus way was very uncomfortable to be fair, I think it was the surface had bumps every couple of meters.
