That's why I included the links.
The Cambridgeshire link I sent in the mail above has a photo right at
the top of the page, and then each of the subordinate links from that
page has increasingly detailed pictures, including the guideway
construction and the bus fittings and so on, and lots of plans and
construction detail if you're really interested.
The proposal page also has further links including photos of examples
from around the world.
What more do you need?
David
