Posted by Rail Blue on Thu Sep 6 17:23:53 2007, in response to Re: Pantograph for Trackless Trolley vs. Light Rail or MU, posted by Fytton on Thu Sep 6 09:25:55 2007. i think there were places in the UK and in Europe where trams and trolley buses ran on the same streets, but I can't remember how the overhead wires were arranged. I think the trams had trolley poles too, and contacted only the live wire, leaving the neutral one for the trolley buses alone to use.Yes. Loads of them. There were exceptions though -- for instance, after Birmingham's line 7 (Nechells) was trolleybustituted in 1922, the wires were doubled on the actual route, but to get to or from any depot required fitting a plough to the rear of the trolleybus to make a return contact with the tramway running rails. |
