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.

Another dodgy answer. You claimed that the opinion came from "the
country's largest group of professional transport planners". "Group" -
singular. Such a group must have a name, so why not tell us?

Because I MUST have permission first to use this information. It is one thing
for people working withinr such organisations to express an opiniont privately
but quite another for those same statements to be published.

And you haven't told us where the "10 minute frequency" "rule" came
from. Such a clear-cut rule must be documented and attributable, so...?

The 10 minute justification comes from the Arnhem report into whether to
replace or retain trolleybuses. When we were considering London we changed it
to five minutes because everything in the UK is absurdly more expensive to do
than on the other side of the Channel. We have never analysed the revenue
against costs of the proposal in full detail but did do some very rough
calculations of costs and revenue and that seemed to confirm that it was a
viable concept financially.

If one scrolls to the bottom of http://www.tbus.org.uk/home.htm a familiar
