Bar rounding to the nearest 5%, and knocking the riverbus down a few
points, the scores are exactly as given in the NLA exhibition!


Riverbus is knocked down because of the recent worrying news about the
future (or not) of the Power Station itself.


Did they claim this was their own work, or do they mention the NLA?



They mention the NLA, and at the end of the article they plug the
exhibition and give the website reference.


Given that the NLA gallery is all of 300 metres walk from Time Out's
offices, this is probably the laziest journalism i've seen in a while.



Not really - I guess a deal was struck: we plug your exhibition, if we can
use your facts and figures to make a page up. I for one am delighted they
did as I may not have heard of this exhibition otherwise. And it's good
that the public are more informed of what's going on. I for one would have
loved more information when they considered stopping the NLL south of
Stratford, as you know.
