Thanks, Tim - you're right, it is telling. My worry (off the record for
now) is that Sustrans are pulling the strings too strongly here, given
that they have effectively been given £4m of R&D out of the public
purse, and they've closed off scope of what might develop at a very
early stage.
Best,
Paul
