I've had umpteen mail messages, not to mention six or eight news postings, about electric passengers carrying vehicles. Don't you all know that the British are, if nothing else, grammatical? If they meant to prohibit electric passengers from carrying vehicles, the sign would have said "No electric passengers..." etc. The use of "electric passenger" in the singular makes it clear what the prohibition applies to.
