Plans for the UK's first trolleybus system in 35 years have been given the go-ahead in West Yorkshire.
Public transport provider Metro wants to build a ??300m electric bus network in Leeds city centre, to replace the city's failed supertram scheme.
Leeds was one of the first UK cities to operate trolleybuses. Bradford was the last, closing its system in 1972.
The scheme secured the financial backing of the Regional Transport Board at a meeting in Sheffield on Friday.
If given approval by the Department for Transport, work on the scheme will start in 2010, to be completed by 2011/12.
The trolleybuses would follow a city centre loop, as well as a north route through Headingley and a south route to Stourton.
Trolleybuses pick up their power supply from overhead wires and have lower emissions and make less noise than standard buses.
The system Metro wants to use is similar to the one in Lyon, France.
Metro director Kieran Preston said: "Gaining the Regional Transport Board's financial backing is a huge step forward in our plans to develop what will be the UK's first new trolleybus system in Leeds.
"It means we have an agreed funding source, which combined with the DfT's acceptance of our business case could mean that people will be riding on state-of-the-art trolleybuses by 2011.
Almost 40m pound was spent on the Leeds Supertram plans before they were rejected as being too costly by the Department of Transport.作者: 666 时间: 2008-3-2 09:06

中国的政府会认为电车的架空线有“视觉污染”、不够灵活、投入成本高等等的理由,可他们却看不见公共汽车对人类对地球造成的真实的永久的不可逆转的污染!!!!
相比对环境的严重污染这个所谓的“视觉污染”是多么的可笑!!!!作者: leo227 时间: 2008-3-2 12:07
