Birmingham transport history
This page appears to have been born out of an edit war on the History of Birmingham page about 2 years ago, which led someone to fork off this article. All the useful content appears to be duplicated in articles about specific inventors or companies. There appears to be no particular reason to group this content in this way; "unrelated people and companies who worked in vaguely related fields in the same city over the space of several centuries" strikes me as much too loose an association for an article, and that's more or less what this boils down to. (Note: This was debated and kept in June 2004. See the talk page.  Cleanup tagged since June '05.) --RobthTalk 19:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
