Now that's an interesting thought that your humble enthusiast can make a
difference to shape the transport infrastructure of the future,

Some years ago I got an email from a transit authority in (IIRC) Canada,
asking my opinion on metro rolling stock.

I have a vague interest in sound mirrors, big concrete things built on
the south and east coast from WWI to the 1930s, before radar came
along and made them spectacularly obsolete:

I recently had an email from someone claiming to want me to bid to
supply some of this early warning technology to the Bangladesh navy.
Snag is, the ones I've see are things like 200' long concrete walls,
which were at their limits with the enemy aeroplanes of the 1930s...
