I love Croydon! It's so amazing with the trams I love taking. And by the way, buses are also a reliable way but I think the Overground is the best service on the planet. Make more trams, TfL, I want your city to be very unique. Make tram stops in Central London.

Articulated trams are far superior. Double decker models are largely a relic when trying to join different sections was more difficult. Articulated trams load and unload faster, don't have stairs to go up and down, and can carry more people (no standing on the top level), and are guided by the track anyway
@grassytramtracks

@@brokenbritain1930 it has nothing to do with health and safety (after all, we have double decker buses) and all to do with practicality, and the reason you have to pay more for open top buses is because they're only used for tourist buses. Why are they not used for regular bus runs? Because rain exists. The rain means that the bus will fill with water which will corrode the bus, and no one will want to ride on the top when it's cold or raining, which means that half the time no one will want to go up there
