We can attest to that in Seattle. From well off you can see one of the new

firmly attached to the wires.
Stagecoach may want to consider ways of ensuring that drivers don't exceed the
speed limit through specialwork. Ours have become quite bold, some of them even
a bit heedless.

Graeme [Butler] is a real enthusiast and
a very keen design engineer - he designed some composite
aluminium/fibre-glass trolley poles 20 years ago, was snubbed by the
obstructive City Council management of the day ... but the poles are now
being tested in service and are proving a fantastic success - very difficult
to dewire.
