Two bright, shining lies: (a) Other global cities have dierentiated services (b) Single-deckers are faster, more frequent and carry more people Most dont. And if they do have metros, its for historical reasons or because they have very high urban densities, and mostly only for short trips. The trend is the other way, to developing single types of services, and in Europe, more and more suburban (usually double-deck) services right through city centres. No-one else is deliberately creating divided types of services. No-one else is replacing high-capacity suburban services with metros. 22. 1855 revisited Why the fetish with metro-style trains?Why the fetish with metro-style trains?

Really?Faster? Really? NWRL Stage 2 claimed travel speedsEIS for single-deck NWRL services These claims are mutually consistent only if the modelled average dwell time for trains at each NWRL station is between 5 and 15 seconds. Automatic train doors take about 10 seconds to open and close. Travel time claims were openly rorted in 2008 and again in 2009. And now someone is again telling the Transport Minister, and us, a load of porkies. 24. 1855 revisited double deckersObviously have a greater capacity than single deck buses Single deck trains can carry more people Carry more people?
