Rubbish. There is a bowstring arch bridge on the Sheffield Supertram
system, right in the middle of the city.

Do you know anyone in the TfL press office who you could remind of this -
all they had to do was a quick google - of course they probably have a
'London only' version, like the DfT...

Doubt they'd take any notice.

How many press releases with incorrect data like that have ever been
retracted or corrected ? The odd one where something has been incorrect
with the mainstream part of the data, but no-one ever resolves
peripheral waffle BS.
