Abstract
The article describes the successful operation of the speedline bus service by the Eastern Counties Bus Co in the Orton Area of Peterborough. Buses operated by this service are fitted with devices which activate coils beneath the busway triggering traffic signals to green. This gives buses priority over other traffic enabling the services to avoid traffic congestion and penetrate into otherwise traffic-free areas so that passengers can get closer to their destinations. The Plessey ident-a-bus system is the selective vehicle detection (svd) equipment installed. (TRRL)
