A rule, eh? As 'asdf' has mentioned, 'on your web site, you state that
"the opinion of the country's largest group of professional transport
planners is that the best option for most places is trolleybuses" '.
Did "the country's largest group of professional transport planners"
devise this rule? And, in any case, will you please tell us more about
this group?

The contents of the web page that is the home page of www.tfwl.org.uk which
has 'the opinion' statement was written in 2001 and has been continuously
displayed on another web site since that time. In four years a lot has
changed I am seeking an updated statement that reflects current thinking of
the organisations to whom this opinon originates from, together with
permissions to reproduce the exchange of emails received then and subsequently
on the issues you raise.

I am afraid that not everyone responds as immediately as you would wish and
you will just have to wait until I get the appropriate clearance "to publish".
However as a jesture of goodwill I am prepared to remove that paragraph for
the time being.
