Whatever happened to the tram proposals for Bath and Bristol?

Much of the "Trams for Bath" website at <http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tP000.htm (http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tP000.htm)> is still up, and contains a lot of interesting information. It looks like they put in a lot of work, but the website hasn't been updated since 2002/2003. This is a shame, as there now seem to be viable alternatives to overhead wires, such as Alstom^s APS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_power_supply (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_power_supply)>  or Bombardier^s PRIMOVE <http://primove.bombardier.com/application/light-rail/ (http://primove.bombardier.com/application/light-rail/)>, which are both mentioned in this article  <http://www.therailengineer.com/2012/11/28/trams-without-wires/ (http://www.therailengineer.com/2012/11/28/trams-without-wires/)>.

The links "Trams for Bath" have to the proposed Bristol scheme are dead, but there are articles such as <http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tG37.htm (http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tG37.htm)> and <http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tG35.htm (http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tG35.htm)>.

There is also a mention of the Trondheim Bicycle Lift. The link is dead, but City of Trondheim's own website mentions it at <http://www.trondheim.no/content.ap?thisId=1117614134 (http://www.trondheim.no/content.ap?thisId=1117614134)>. Fascinating; Bath could make good use of several of those.
