I am glad to see that the group likes ropeways. A couple of years ago I had thought that once my present project was finished I would right the history of the ropeway (at least in the UK), this still remains a possibility if no one else is already doing it. The recent thread indicates how much material is available. For some time I have noted (but not in any way followed up) items on the subject and have a list of UK ropeways (not including blondins) now, with the help of the recent activity running to 90+ entries in various states of incompleteness. This presumably is only a small proportion of those which existed. I am happy to maintain this list and make it available to others if useful.
