Trolly buses/trams went out of favour against the motor bus as motor bus routes can be switched very easily - no need to rip up/ lay down new tracks or string up new overhead cables.
I do recall reading a report that even so its been very rare for motor bus routes to actually change much over time
Given the years of traffic chaos we've had in Nottingham with the new tram lines being laid (they have to move all the underground pipes & cables from below the road before actually laying the lines) I do wonder why trams have been touted in so many cities, but not trolly buses?
Well tram lines only need to be laid once (apart from being re-laid every 15-20 years. Don't forget many tram tracks were not removed when the systems closed but just covered with road surface so moving pipes and cables wouldn't be an issue in many cases.
I wonder if trams and trolleybuses would have axed after the oil shock of 1973? Yes, we have had 36 years warning of what's coming and not much has been done to prepare for it.
I've read the entire thread already. Maybe I missed something. I'll try again.
Ill sum it up. Perhaps I wasn't clear.
OP believes that the EM field from a electric car effects him but the train doesn't because its built differently or not all the cars are powered.
I was stating in that post you quoted, if his theory was correct he WOULD be effected in a train because he would at some point end up in a powered car by probability.
But since he is never effected then his theory is wrong.

I think a similar effect may have affected your spelling.

Have there been any health issues with the Toyota Prius or similar Honda?
There is no evidence of such effects however I don't know precisely why 'it cant possibly happen'.
There are people who maintain that living near high tension power lines has had an impact on them physically - although I'm not sure whether there's any truth in it.

Because we don't usually have metal in our heads in sufficient quantities for an electric field to be induced. The tiny amount of iron in your blood doesn't count by the way.

Yeah. I think I understand what slipstreem meant. As in based on evidence this effect is not something that happens.(Is that right Slipstreem?)
However I certainly can see a theoretical mechanism for it.

Firefox says all words are correct.
Google spell checker is non functional at this time.
So that's the best your going to get. Deal with it
I suppose technically all the words are correct - they just aren't necessarily the right word. I should have said grammar.
Still, always nice to see pedantry met with more pedantry!
Have there been any health issues with the Toyota Prius or similar Honda?
There hasn't been any known health issues with electric traction motors
Yes - despite advances in technology, its still pretty unhealthy to get hit by one.
Has anyone else felt the effects of it like i did?
Good grief.
Now I just picture you as Charley Brown. after that unique 'crump' sound when he gets knocked over.
I was thinking of electro magnetism!
Being run over by a bus isn't healthy and I suggest you don't try it either!

I had the Ace of Spades stuck in mine all day the other day - could that have had any effect?
What if the wind's against you? I don't fancy tacking all the way up the M1...
