I think they trialled them in Brighton for a while, but if memory serves the established taxi runners took humbridge and tried to oust 'em. |

They had to run as if they were buses  and stick to routes and timetables. Weren't very good most of the time and the cabbies did not make life easy for them.

Noisy, smelly (in Bangalore they run them on some Calor-Gas derivative) but immensely useful in situations where the traffic moves at 2mph and this thing can get through minute gaps, go down the wrong way on a dual carriage way (as the other side is stationery as well), etc. Probably perfect for these conditions, but not for here - if you are going to stick to the H-Code there is no advantage.
