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)

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)

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)

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

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∴ ∫ξφ 13:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

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

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
