Did you hear about those new buses which are currently tested in China?

Did you hear about those new buses which are currently tested in China? I think they need curbs for the cars, otherwise the possibility of a car getting in the way of the bus tracks will create many accidents. Is it really a bus or an elevated train on ground level tracks? |

Did you hear about those new buses which are currently tested in China? I'd say the latter, but bus sounds better to a politician than train. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I have no idea. The site where I have read about this called them TEBs - traffic elevated busses.

ROFL - brilliant one! "Our most valuable resource sits 63 feet ahead", indeed. Spot of devaluation ahead, you reckon? |

Slightly train related :-) "The bridge was hit by lorries four times in September and has since been struck twice every month, causing more than 147 cancellations and delaying trains by over 73 hours in total." Why don't they just dig the road bed down a little to make clearance?

Slightly train related :-) Probably utility lines under it which would have to be reconfigured. Sewer lines especially depend on gravity for proper flow. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Yeah, agreed, the UP, who I've read owns this tortured bridge has 2 cranes in there, so yeah they want to replace it asap, as they have trains backed up clear to Kansas. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Wow, whatever happened to professionalism? I bet many here worked with people that they did not like but got on with the job in hand. Cabin Crew argue so much, they got removed from the aircraft |

Wow, whatever happened to professionalism? It was probably priced out in favour of cheap fares. |

The Airlander 10, currently the largest aircraft in the world, has just gracefully crashed onto the ground during its second test flight in the north of London, UK. After initial denials, it has now been confirmed that Airlander 10 came into contact with an overhead power cable before crashing. Airlander 10: Longest aircraft hit power cable before nosediving |
