Trams? TRAMS?

We don't want cocking TRAMS! We want a Magical Monorail...

Trolley bus, and yes, I'm old enough to remember them in the Old Steine.

It appears to be on rails, although that could be a disused tram track. There are some great pics on https://www.mybrightonandhove.org.u...s-and-trolley-buses/trams_and_trolley_buses-2

Is the Hare and Hounds still there? If so, they need those pics hanging inside!

This is what I remember up to 1961 when they stopped.

If we sold Caicedo and Mac we could fund a Monorail! Where do I drive them?

Yes, they are like the ones I remember seeing in 1960s Huddersfield with dual poles (pantograms?). The Brighton station pic is shaped much more like a tram than a trolley bus and only has one pole thingy.

At c£2.2m per place, starting with Championship-bound Southampton and working up, the Albion will pick up a cool £33m for our ASTOUNDING 6th place finish.

How much does a monorail cost? Asking for a friend.

That should cover the baulk of the staff bonuses....

£1,222 for each season ticket holder.

A nice little windfall for all of us.

Imagine if we did get that as handouts hahaha

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Croydon tramlink cost £200 million 23 years ago so I suspect a similar project would be 5 or 10 times that cost now.

Not sure it would be feasible but brighton being a compact city with high population density would be an ideal candidate for a tram network, I wonder if its very been considered??

Should be for pollution more than anything else.

What do you mean imagine.
I've just spent mine.

We must have enough assets at the club to sell off to build a monorail. It might mean dropping back down to League 2 for a bit, but I'm OK with that, I miss those days in a strange sort of way. We can just run the whole story of the last 25 years again. By 2048 we'll be back in the Premier League and playing in Europe, but with a monorail. I'm sure all the new fans / Japanese etc would stick with us.

All Tony has to do is add 'The Monorail Clause' into the deal when he sells the club to North Korea.
That way we don't have to deal with relegation and there will be a readymade workforce to all the hard work

If only somebody had the vision to ringfence money for it, it worked for the spanking new ground up the road

Monorail, schmonorail....how about running the full every 10 minute rail service on evenings and Sundays, given that most of our games are going to be then?

There's no need for that, and in case I think my post was otherwise correct!

BTW I've just looked up pantograms and got some dodgy results in the image search

Don't know about mono rail but a ski gondola system would be upwards of £45million for typical 5mile stretch carrying about 3000 person per hour pending on terrain. Believe the Thames O2 one was about £60 million....
