Gas and Battery Buses?

 Electric is much cheaper than fossil Fuels.

Many city fleets of buses have now either opted for battery or gas, but with the very hot summers of recent years there is a problem of the Lithium overheating and vehicles catching fire.

To this date nothing better is yet available, but there are many innovations that are not getting tested and so for most of the year, apart from two months everything works fine.

Lamp post hubs are becoming the norm in London for buses and other vehicles on a pre-paid system and with the phasing out of diesel. We will have better transport connections that are far cheaper by at least £1.70 per litre of conventional fuel.

The Elizabeth Line. Part-Two.

London's latest Underground Railway!

What ever you want to call it?

Cross rail is the latest venture to connect the capital of the U.K. from six directions and go under the centre of London! This is of course only the beginning of this venture which will make way for others as mentioned before?

The new fleet is to be based at Old Oak Common depot in west-London, but other depots too will be built at the six hubs! The current stock is new and state of the art, but the second generation is probably on the drawing board?

One does find the interior scheme a bit heavy, but time will tell what the public might like to see? 

It is hoped that by 2020, this new line and a proposed (another) extension to Heathrow International will relieve the current crush on the whole transport system? But if you know London, you just have to have vision and keep spending the billions to keep up with more and more demand!
