In 1870 a further Patent was granted concerning improvements to the track system <ref> UK Patent No 90 Granted 12 January 1870</ref>.
The advantage was the cost of the tramway with the haulage cost reduced to a minimum. The rails were laid at the each side of roads road leaving the centre part for ordinary traffic; as the rails are only 1½ -2 inches(3-5cm) above the surface of the road they would scarcely interfere with ordinary traffic <ref name= Graces/>.
'''Mhyjee Monorail'''
With this success in mind a further line was proposed from [[Maheji|Mhyjee (later named Maheji)]] a station on the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway ]](GIPR) to th esite the site of the Mhyjee Fair a distance of 3½ miles from the station. Construction time 2 weeks. It may only have been for the fair and as a working demonstration. <ref name=Graces/>
