Prescott was no longer responsible for transport schemes and his successor, Alistair Darling, pulled the plug, telling Leeds that it would only get funding if it came back with a "bus-based alternative".And so from the ashes of Supertram, the Trolleybus was born.Dubbed New Generation Transport (NGT) this was an austerity-era attempt to finally get some form of transit system into Leeds.

Electric buses, powered by overhead lines, would run on a route that was partly separated from cars.Costing £250m, it was substantially cheaper than Supertram but critics said it lacked ambition, while others branded it a costly white elephant, noting that nowhere else in the UK had built a new trolleybus line.

The government rejected NGT after a planning inspector said the scheme was "not in the public interest" and wouldn't "reduce congestion and/or enhance the quality of life in the area it would serve".
