It's not very fashionable but overheads cables used to be common,
the amount of work needed to put them back on is nothing,
compared to the road works and space needed to set up a tram line.
But tram lines look sleek and are an easier sell for mayors .
As a cyclist a tram line equals 2 car lanes gone,
but the rails involved are vicious.
