I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you my idea. I give you the Springfield Monorail! (everyone gasps) I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and, by gum, it put them on the map! Well, sir, there's nothin' on earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail! What'd I say?"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0701173/syn ... VqVdQYC44Y

More rubbish in the YEP about the Folley Bus Scheme. I see the sheep on Leeds City Council had to be whipped by the Labour party to vote for the scheme. Time they got some backbone and listened to their people in their wards.

Time they got some backbone and listened to their people in their wards. Councilors (like other politicians) don't seem to exist to serve the electorate, but simply to ensure that the diktats of their respective party is adhered to. And their ranks seem increasingly filled with posh boys and girls who've never done a real days work in their lives.Sadly this situation is perpetuated by the dogma of the masses choosing a party at 18 and sticking with it regardless.Time for change then, as the main 3 parties seem to have nothing to offer?

There is a report about the proposed trolleybus scheme on page 1 and 4 of the Yorkshire Evening Post (YEP) today (Jan 9 2014). This is the link to the online version in the YEP website:- http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... -1-6361784
