that does sound good but a total non starter in practise. the cost of laying down track and overhead copper wires would be exhorbatant. even if vintage trams could be purchased i doubt they,d be up to the job of doing more than a few trips at the weekend. if you went down the cheaper vintage bus route you are talking about vehicles over 50 years old that really interest people. these would need a certificate of fitness the same as a modern vehicle to transport people about. even for newer vehicles this is very expensive and time consuming.
