A slight aside on the mentality of authorities who know a band-wagon when they see it:
I was sent an article regarding a scheme to lay railway tracks near a prison.
The prison service objected because they said that ".. the trains could be hi-jacked and used to ram the prison walls!". A basic misunderstanding of how a railway works, unless they would let a whole new railway line be laid up to the walls without noticing (could happen).
Also they said that the noise of the trains would keep the inmates awake. Ah shame!!
