The aged stock on the Tyne and Wear Metro network has seemingly proven unreliable as of late - if newer stock could be deployed on a new busway with new technology such as free Wi-Fi and power sockets, I think it would work a treat.
So the taxpayer pays for the removal of the track and infrastructure, covers the cost of the tarmac and the private sector (once 'liberalised'), reaps the benefits and profits?
Didn't eezypeazy come out with an idea like this once?

There is never any paths on Realtime Trains for it due to it being a sensitive move. However it does show on the Realtime Maps you can get access to (such as Railcam).
That charter today was the Noah's Arc from Glasgow to Crewe, a charity charter formed from a GBRf staff charter yesterday.

Why does moves like the Royal Train not get shown on websites such as RTT etc? Does it not show up at all, even as a STP or VSTP?
