@TreacleTowner I don't believe this can be true. Anything weighing over 3.5 tonne requires an HGV license, unless you took your test before 1997, in which case you can drive up to 7.5 tonne. But these double deckers are over 10 tonne unladen.

@renardfranse Жыл бұрын
It is well established that the top brass at GM had a plan to replace trollies and electrified vehicles that ran on rails with GM busses. Once the infrastructure was bought up and destroyed there was no going back and the country was forced to use busses and trucks. Abandoning the rail system and building new roads. You see this even today. Look out any train window and you will see many parallel tracks rusting, rotting and abandoned. Only the main lines on Conrail and Amtrak are maintained now, and at a loss I might add. You may have a little trouble researching this as GM has re written history to hide this dark fact, BUT there are still many photographs of destroyed trollies and rail coaches from that era.@@TreacleTowner

The General Motors streetcar conspiracy refers to the convictions of General Motors (GM) and related companies that were involved in the monopolizing of the sale of buses and supplies to National City Lines (NCL) and subsidiaries, as well as to the allegations that the defendants conspired to own or control transit systems, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This suit created lingering suspicions that the defendants had in fact plotted to dismantle streetcar systems in many cities in the United States as an attempt to monopolize surface transportation. Between 1938 and 1950, National City Lines and its subsidiaries, American City Lines and Pacific City Lines-with investment from GM, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California (through a subsidiary), Federal Engineering, Phillips Petroleum, and Mack Trucks-gained control of additional transit systems in about 25 cities.[a] Systems included St. Louis, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Oakland. NCL often converted streetcars to bus operations in that period, although electric traction was preserved or expanded in some locations. Other systems, such as San Diego's, were converted by outgrowths of the City Lines. Most of the companies involved were convicted in 1949 of conspiracy to monopolize interstate commerce in the sale of buses, fuel, and supplies to NCL subsidiaries, but were acquitted of conspiring to monopolize the transit industry. The story as an urban legend has been written about by Martha Bianco, Scott Bottles, Sy Adler, Jonathan Richmond,[3] Cliff Slater,[4] and Robert Post. It has been depicted several times in print, film, and other media, notably in the fictional film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, documentary films such as Taken for a Ride and The End of Suburbia and the book Internal Combustion.[not verified in body]
