NPOV - Much of this article seems to be blatant advertising. I accept the need fot this article, but it needs to be toned down. --Tivedshambo 11:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In general, if you are in England and looking for information about rail or bus transport companies, their history, their development, and often their modelling, you will go to this company catalogue. --SockpuppetSamuelson 12:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I placed the advert tag because of the word "we" as it comes up in the article. (And after reading Tivedshambo's post) This makes it def. not NPOV in even a small way and definately an ad even if correct. Please go easy on me this is the first time I have added one of these tags.. but I think from what I have seen this does fit into this category. Lsjzl 21:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I wasn't aware of the advert tag. --Tivedshambo 22:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry. It's definitely blatant advertising, due to several uses of 'we', and likely copied from another website, probably that of the company itself. I have just engaged in a major rewrite, removing some of the enormous amounts of self-promotion. How do you like it now? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 13:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great improvement - well done! Tivedshambo (talk) 17:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was redirected here from "Ian Allan". I think there should be a page for the man who set this company up. He's been a governor for a Public School and set up the most influential transport publisher in the UK, but who is he? Anyone up for removing the redirect for Ian Allan and writing a bio?

I think the reason this looked like an ad before is that most of the information for this page comes from
