it's a simple solution really but i'm sure our councillors will baulk at the costs even though it makes perfect sense...they have deferred doing the obvious thing for many years.
Come on brighton & hove, get it sorted.

I’m assume you’re really referring to electric buses (ie TRAMS). Got to be the way to go. I can remember the Brighton Trolley-Buses. Very “green”, well ahead of their time. Does anybody have a picture of the old trolley-bus they can post?

Add another train or two to the Volks Railway, and think how much money it would save?

And why not extend it both East and West? Couple of restored steam engines too. Terminus (say) at Hove Lagoon as the trains go round the boating lake? All much more fun than more modern ideas...

Don't be so Tramsphobic.

(Yes, that is supposed to be a joke! )

Trams run on rails, so they are more than simply electric buses. They're more of a Croydon idea ...

The trams in San francisco are a tourist attraction in their own right. If we had new old looking trams running down from the newly vacated front concourse at the station that then split at the seafront to the marina and Hove lagoon we would have people flocking from all round the world.

The regeneration of black rock and the added visitors to the i360 and fat boy's cafe would bring in so much tourist money that we could fix all of our towns issues and create a utopia we can all be proud of.

Money might be an issue with the i360 still failing to repay its debts.
The ultimate in Green Brighton recycling. Chop down the tower and put it on wheels.

Take the doughnut off, fill it with seats with straps and roll it up the seafront
