I am trying to find out what happened to the ro-railer bus technology developed by the Centre of Alternative Industrial Systems at North West London Polytechnic, in conjunction with the shop stewards of Lucas Aerospace. They adapted a Bristol LH bus to run on normal roads and on rail tracks, and it was tested on the West Somerset Railway, apparently with success. I would like to get in touch with whoever still has the rights to this system. I would also be grateful for any information on the costs and practicality of the system they used. A longer version of this request, with more details, has been posted to Usenet (uk.railway, uk.transport) under the heading "Road/rail hybrid buses". -- Neil Worthington, Doncaster, UK. ================================ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
