There was talk of it being brought in in Bristol too. Instead they installed a tram system.. which was downgraded to electric buses on dedicated routes, which was downgraded to normal buses with new body kits on dedicated routes, which was downgraded to semi dedicated routes. Which is nearly finished 5 years, a lot of money and a lot of disruption later. And is still too expensive for anyone to want to use and unreliable. No oyster cards either and even though First run both buses and tains in the area, you can't buy a ticket for one journey that uses both.
+ The council subsidises them massively even though their execs rake it in. .. got a feeling I should be writing this in the gripe thread.
