Isn't it a sad reflection of life today in what is supposedly an enviroment that we can ask questions on almost anything and have a right to a response? David Bradey I am not au fait with the Yahoo group in question, could you enlighten me as to what it's called? Try this: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/croydontramlink/ or use my links page at http://www.trolleybus.net/tramlinks.htm for Croydon Tramlink to sign up to receive messages in your email client. I agree completely with your sentiments. I guess it shows the power of the web - the fact that Bombardier were concerned about the bad impression an enthusiasts website might create for those whom may be considering buying trams at least suggests that transport authorities/tramway operating consortia do their research about tram makes and models from a wide variety of sources before placing a multimillion order. Anyway, my impression was that Stephen's site was/is broadly positive about the Cologne model trams that were chosen for Tramlink. He sure was, and that is the thanks he got for his troubles. One last (and rather obvious) thought - if potential customers (in the form of city transport authorities or tramway operators) look at enthusiasts websites, then surely many of them will also be able to read the criticism of Bombardier both here on usenet and in other internet forums, criticism which has been created by their heavy handed approach to Stephen and his website. Now that's an interesting thought that your humble enthusiast can make a difference to shape the transport infrastructure of the future, I think I need to plug my website www.tfwl.org.uk and the sit back for the desired improvements that are sought!
