I do think that those in Park Street are waking up to what is needed. The 60103 and Locomotion happenings are indicative of that. However, they still have a fair way to go to get the event management right. Hopefully, that will improve. For...

Quite a number of LSL staff were onboard yesterday so I get the impression that this was as much a trip for the staff as the supporters of 71000 plus the wider public. It really was a well managed day by all and the charter seemed to 'slipstream'...
