Sir – ‘Give us a road-train’ was the title of a letter in your edition of July 21 from Peter Headicar.
I am afraid that I have almost given up on my idea that this kind of transport will ever come to Oxford city centre.
My first letter on the subject was published by you on January 6, 1988. This was before Cornmarket was pedestrianised (a move for which I was partly responsible) but now that there are no buses there it is even more important.
These ‘road-trains’ would be appreciated by tourists, shoppers, older people and others who find walking tiring.
Like your recent correspondent I suggested that what I called ‘ox-trollies’ should run between St Clement’s and the Railway Station and Abingdon Road and St Giles’ with hop-on hop-off opportunities in between.
